Research Abstract	実験的研究では主に覚醒したサルを使って、大脳皮質の感覚野と連合野のニューロン活動を分析し、平行するいくつかのシステムの階層的な情報処理のプロセスを調べた。視覚系では対象の認知に関係する下側頭回には同じような図形に反応するニューロンのコラム構造があり、訓練によって学習した図形のコラムが増加することがわかった(田中)。さらに高次の上側頭溝周辺には見慣れた対象の間の違いを識別する細胞があることがわかった(三上)。空間認知に関与する頭頂連合野には物体の三次元的特徴を識別する細胞群があり特に長軸の傾きを識別する細胞群が発見された(酒田)。またMST野では、広い視野の動きに反応するfieldタイプと小さなスポットにも反応するobjectタイプの処理様式の違いがわかった(斎藤)。体性感覚野の高次の領域で左右の手に対称的な受容野を持つ細胞群が発見された(岩村)。この他、公募班員によって網膜、視覚伝導路、第一次視覚野などにおける特徴抽出のメカニズムについて詳細な研究が行われた。理論的研究も視覚系を中心に行われた。三次元図形の認知に関しては動く物体の輪郭をHopfield型ネットワークで抽出するモデルを組立て(杉江)、少数の違う角度から見た像から三次元物体を認知するモデルを心理物理学的実験で検証した(乾)。さらに複数の対象の位置関係を眼球運動によってマップするシステムをモデル化し(永野)、また出来事の記憶と認知に必要な時系列パターンを発生するモデルを組立てた(星宮)。この他公募班によって注視点の移動による複雑な図形の認知システム(石井)、味覚のニューラルネットワーク(山本)、明暗と色の相互作用(江島)、両眼視野闘争(小林)などの研究が行われた。
