Oddly enough, I provided this link in my original post. But I supposed a little redundancy might be a good thing. >Curiously, PLoS One does not have a psychology category.

I guess my >definition of neuroscience is too narrow. The study fall into the category of social neuroscience, specifically, the neurophysiological basis of person perception. Here is what the authors say about the connectionist model they present to simulate the possible neural processing involved: |To more rigorously examine the underlying processing that hypothetically |gave rise to the pattern of categorization responses and hand-movement |data above, we implemented a simulation of the results using a new |instantiation of the computational model described in [14]. The model is |a recurrent connectionist network with stochastic interactive activation | [26], [27], depicted in Fig. 4. It provides an approximation of the kind |of processing that might take place in a human brain [21], [26], [28], [29], |specifically in the context of perceiving other people. Figure 4, which shows the connectionist model, can be accessed here: http://www.plosone.org/article/slideshow.action?uri=info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0025107&imageURI=info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0025107.g004 One could argue that the problem with this model is that it is more like a rule and symbol architecture, similar to the Collins and Loftus semantic network model, then a "true" connectionist like, say, the net talk model which is a three level neural network that takes printed text and input and provides spoken words as output. The model presented here is more of a hybrid model (i.e., both rule & symbol and connectionist). -Mike Palij New York University [email protected] --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [email protected].
