Understanding how populations of neurons encode information is the challenge faced by
researchers in the field of neural coding. Focusing on the many mysteries and marvels of the …

Perception of natural visual scenes activates several functional areas in the human brain,
including the Parahippocampal Place Area (PPA), Retrosplenial Complex (RSC), and the …

Clark appears to be moving toward epistemic internalism, which he once rightly rejected.
This results from a double over-interpretation of predictive coding's significance. First, Clark …

The active visual system comprises the visual cortices, cerebral attention networks, and
oculomotor system. While fascinating in its own right, it is also an important model for …

We propose a new retina simulation software, called Virtual Retina, which transforms a
video into spike trains. Our goal is twofold: Allow large scale simulations (up to 100,000 …

Despite the recent success of neural network models in mimicking animal performance on
various tasks, critics worry that these models fail to illuminate brain function. We take it that a …

Neurons in the medial superior temporal (MST) area of the primate visual cortex respond
selectively to complex motion patterns defined by expansion, rotation, and deformation …

Our knowledge of sensory processing has advanced dramatically in the last few decades,
but this understanding remains far from complete, especially for stimuli with the large …

Following the pioneering studies of the receptive field (RF), the RF concept gained further
significance for visual perception by the discovery of input effects from beyond the classical …

A central goal in the study of any sensory system is to predict neural responses to complex
inputs, especially those encountered during natural stimulation. Nowhere is the …
