Are there any Neuropsychologists or other Clinical/Neural/Medical
people out there who have experience with defects in feature
integration (a la Treisman and others)? This would entail
difficulties in detecting a particualar shape of a particualar
color from among distractors having the same shape or color.
The subject might also show a high degree of
"illusionary conjuctions," that is, seeing the target in the
distractors when none exists.
Having these symptoms, I would like to know the location of any
leisons in the brain.
I have only been able to locate one journal article on this subject.
It was a case study of a parietal lobe injury patient that showed
a high number of illusionary conjuctions. If anyone knows of more
published information on this subject please respond also.
Also, if anyone is aware of PET studies on Feature integration
(they will probably be in progress or in press) please let me
know.
You can post any response or mail them to me at Psyanag at BYUVM.Bitnet.
If I get a number of responses I'll summerize later.
Thanks in advance,
Abe.
