Abstract
Perceptual Control Theory (PCT) presents a robust modular structure for cascaded negative feedback, but with little specification of the perceptual-input-function component of its control loops. This chapter examines two dozen neural models for how vision is constructed, particularly ones described by Glezer (1995) and the spatial-frequency hypothesis, and applies them to naturalistic scenes like a campfire. It describes neurophysiological mechanisms and locales within the nervous system as forms of structural reliability, including standardizations of ascending input, and aligns them with PCT's behaviorally-enacted reliability of hierarchically controlled perceptions. An extended illustration is provided about how to apply open-loop methods within the transport lag of a closed-loop of causality. PCT-compatible notions of sensorimotor output functions are described, interlacing category-like step functions with sigmoidal co-variation of relationships and Gaussian targeting for directional events, along with additional material provided online as to basal ganglia control of motor-related perceptions.
