This is a survey of psychophysical studies of motion perception carried out mainly in the last
10 years. It covers a wide range of topics, including the detection and interactions of local …

Sub-additivity and variability are ubiquitous response motifs in the primary visual cortex (V1).
Response sub-additivity enables the construction of useful interpretations of the visual …

Finding sought visual targets requires our brains to flexibly combine working memory
information about what we are looking for with visual information about what we are looking …

A few distinct cortical operations have been postulated over the past few years, suggested
by experimental data on nonlinear neural response across different areas in the cortex …

Studies in biological vision have always been a great source of inspiration for design of
computer vision algorithms. In the past, several successful methods were designed with …

How do we perceive our direction of self-motion through space? To navigate effectively
through a complex three-dimensional (3-D) environment, we must accurately estimate our …

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 …

We present a model of intermediate-level visual representation that is based on learning
invariances from movies of the natural environment. The model is composed of two stages of …

fMRI is a tool to study brain function noninvasively that can reliably identify sites of neural
involvement for a given task. However, to what extent can fMRI signals be related to …

In the first brain relay of the olfactory system, odors are encoded by combinations of
glomeruli, but it is not known how glomerular signals are ultimately integrated. In Drosophila …
