Traditionally, functional representations in early visual areas are conceived as retinotopic
maps preserving ego-centric spatial location information while ensuring that other stimulus …

Natural scenes are composed of complex distributions of visual features that drive neural
response patterns and shape visual perception. However, most stimuli that are commonly …

Perception, working memory, and long-term memory each evoke neural responses in visual
cortex, suggesting that memory uses encoding mechanisms shared with perception. While …

Cortical feedback (FB) projections are thought to modulate lower-order activity depending
on learned expectations. However, whether FB inputs become bound to specific lower-order …

Spatial attention can target specific locations in the visual field to enhance processing of
stimuli within that location. The top-down control of spatial attention is thought to be …

Attention allows us to focus sensory processing on behaviorally relevant aspects of the
visual world. Directing attention has been associated with a number of changes in sensory …

Crowding, the impaired ability to accurately recognize a target stimulus among distractors, is
a major bottleneck in visual perception. The spatial configuration of distractors in relation to …

Although practice has long been known to improve perceptual performance, the neural
basis of this improvement in humans remains unclear. Using fMRI in conjunction with a …
