Neural Correlates of Recognizing Camouflaged Objects: A Human fMRI and EEG Study
Abstract
The objectives of the proposed experiments are to elucidate the neural mechanisms that underlie the perception of ca1nouflaged objects, and to understand and exploit the processes by which the camouflage-breaking performance can be improved. The experimental methodology will consist of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and high-density electroencephalography (EEG) (acquired through ARO DURIP funds) of normal adult human subjects. Quantitative behavioral experiments will be conducted to relate neural responses to perceptual outcomes, and also to standardize the various protocols used in this study. The proposed research will primarily focus on neural mechanisms of perceiving camouflaged human faces, with some supplemental experiments using camouflaged objects other than faces to assess the generalizability or lack thereof of the underlying neural mechanisms.
