New clue on how brain processes visual information

ScienceDaily (July 22, 2012) ? Ever wonder how the human brain, which is constantly bombarded with millions of pieces of visual information, can filter out what's unimportant and focus on what's most useful?

The process is known as selective attention and scientists have long debated how it works. But now, researchers at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center have discovered an important clue. Evidence from an animal study, published in the July 22 online edition of the journal Nature Neuroscience, shows that the prefrontal cortex is involved in a previously unknown way.

Two types of attention are utilized in the selective attention process -- bottom up and top down. Bottom-up attention is automatically guided to images that stand out from a background by virtue of color, shape or motion, such as a billboard on a highway. Top-down attention occurs when one's focus is consciously shifted to look for a known target in a visual scene, as when searching for a relative in a crowd.

Traditionally, scientists have believed that separate areas of the brain controlled these two processes, with bottom-up attention occurring in the posterior parietal cortex and top-down attention occurring in the prefrontal cortex.

"Our findings provide insights on the neural mechanisms behind the guidance of attention," said Christos Constantinidis, Ph.D., associate professor of neurobiology and anatomy at Wake Forest Baptist and senior author of the study. "This has implications for conditions such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), which affects millions of people worldwide. People with ADHD have difficulty filtering information and focusing attention. Our findings suggest that both the ability to focus attention intentionally and shifting attention to eye-catching but sometimes unimportant stimuli depend on the prefrontal cortex."

In the Wake Forest Baptist study, two monkeys were trained to detect images on a computer screen while activity in both areas of the brain was recorded. The visual display was designed to let one image "pop out" due to its color difference from the background, such as a red circle surrounded by green. To trigger bottom-up attention, neither the identity nor the location of the pop-out image could be predicted before it appeared. The monkeys indicated that they detected the pop-out image by pushing a lever. The neural activity associated with identifying the pop-out images occurred in the prefrontal cortex at the same time as in the posterior parietal cortex. This unexpected finding indicates early involvement of the prefrontal cortex in bottom-up attention, in addition to its known role in top-down attention, and provides new insights into the neural mechanisms of attention.

"We hope that our findings will guide future work targeting attention deficits," Constantinidis said.

The research was supported by the National Eye Institute contract ROI EY016773 and the Tab Williams Family Endowment.

Fumi Katsuki, Ph.D., a post-doctoral fellow at Wake Forest Baptist, co-authored the study.

China Yuchai Meets Climate Requirements for ... - LNG World News

China Yuchai International Limited, announced today that 80 buses manufactured by the Yutong Bus Group Co., Ltd. running on YC6G260N-40 natural gas engines supplied by Guangxi Yuchai Machinery Company Limited, the Company?s main operating subsidiary, recently completed their journey from Xining, Qinghai province, to the Tibetan Plateau, meeting the climate requirements for operating at high altitudes.

These natural gas engines showcase GYMCL?s technical capabilities and product quality leadership in the region. The successful trial of the engine positions GYMCL as a key partner in the ongoing economic development of northwest China.

The YC6G260N-40 engine is a 6-cylinder engine with torque of 980 N.m at 1,400 rpm, which can use either compressed natural gas (CNG) or liquid natural gas (LNG) to power it. It features full-authority electronic controls with robust programming options and advanced diagnostics to optimize engine performance and provides seamless integration with the other components in the engine. It produces ultra-low noise and incorporates a water-cooled exhaust gas turbocharger for higher efficiency and longer service life. The YC6G260N-40 engine is compliant up to National 4 emissions standard.

Mr. Benny Goh, President of China Yuchai, commented, ?As previously announced, GYMCL?s next focus will be on developing and producing a full portfolio of natural gas powered engines to complement its existing line-up of diesel engines. As a result of past initiatives, we are starting to launch a series of self-developed natural gas engines using our proprietary technologies and robust research and development program. Due to its low emissions and high horse power, many of our natural gas engines have been widely installed in the metro bus market in first-tier cities such as Shanghai and Beijing. Our YC6K natural gas engine which has been tailored specifically for the heavy-duty truck market, features 450-500 horsepower, which is the highest in its class in China. In 2011, we sold approximately 13,000 natural gas engines and we look forward to increasing sales in 2012. The expanding use of our natural gas engines in China?s gas rich provinces supports the Chinese government?s initiatives to encourage energy conversation and emissions reduction.?

That In-App Purchase Hack Now Works For OS X Apps Too [Apple]

Earlier in the week a Russian hacker—Alexy Borodin—revealed a fairly easy way to make in-app purchases in iOS without actually paying for them. Apple has of course since been working on a fix to the gaping hole, but adding insult to injury, Alexy has now revealed that a very similar hack also works with desktop apps downloaded from the Mac App Store.

Authorities refocus efforts to locate 2 Iowa girls

EVANSDALE, Iowa (AP) ? Authorities say the FBI divers who searched a northeast Iowa lake for two missing cousins have left the state as investigators explore other possibilites.

FBI spokeswoman Sandy Breault said Saturday that federal authorities were continuing the investigation and would provide resources to help locate 10-year-old Lyric Cook-Morrissey and 8-year-old Elizabeth Collins. But she said the divers were no longer needed.

The girls vanished a week ago after riding their bikes near Meyers Lake in the northeast Iowa town of Evansdale. Their bikes were later found on a path near the lake.

Authorities say they now believe the girls were abducted, after concluding that they did not drown or die in the lake. Authorities are also scrutinizing family members of the girls, although they have not named any suspects.
