Twenty years ago, the seminal work of Grinvald et al. revolutionized the view cast on
spontaneous cortical activity by showing how, instead of being a mere measure of noise, it …

Ongoing perception ebbs and flows rhythmically. Understanding the source and scope of
this phenomenon is an important step in unraveling the foundations of sensory processing …

In response to sensory stimulation, the cortex exhibits an early transient response followed
by late and slower activation. Recent studies suggest that the early component represents …

Research in the last decade has undermined the idea of perception as a continuous
process, providing strong empirical support for its rhythmic modulation. More recently, it has …

The combination of electrophysiological recordings with ambiguous visual stimulation made
possible the detection of neurons that represent the content of subjective visual perception …

Spontaneous activity in the resting human brain has been studied extensively; however,
how such activity affects the local processing of a sensory stimulus is relatively unknown …

Flipping through social media feeds, viewing exhibitions in a museum, or walking through
the botanical gardens, people consistently choose to engage with and disengage from …

At any given moment our sensory systems receive multiple, often rhythmic, inputs from the
environment. Processing of temporally structured events in one sensory modality can guide …

Threshold stimulation has proven to be an ideal method for studying conscious perception:
across repeated presentations of the same visual stimulus, our perception vividly fluctuates …

Among the many brain events evoked by a visual stimulus, which ones are associated
specifically with conscious perception, and which merely reflect nonconscious processing …
