Does the brain use a firing rate code or a spike timing code? Considering this controversial
question from an epistemological perspective, I argue that progress has been hampered by …

The two basic processes underlying perceptual decisions—how neural responses encode
stimuli, and how they inform behavioral choices—have mainly been studied separately …

This highly influential work--now in a revised and expanded third edition incorporating major
advances in the field--gives clinicians, educators, and students a new understanding of what …

The repertoire of neural activity patterns that a cortical network can produce constrains the
ability of the network to transfer and process information. Here, we measured activity …

It has been suggested that the lateral intraparietal area (LIP) of macaques plays a
fundamental role in sensorimotor decision-making. We examined the neural code in LIP at …

Determining how neuronal activity represents sensory information is central for
understanding perception. Recent work shows that neural responses at different timescales …

Recent advances combining two-photon calcium imaging and two-photon optogenetics with
computer-generated holography now allow us to read and write the activity of large …

Modulation of interactions among neurons can manifest as dramatic changes in the state of
population dynamics in cerebral cortex. How such transitions in cortical state impact the …

Behavior relies on the distributed and coordinated activity of neural populations. Population
activity can be measured using multi-neuron recordings and neuroimaging. Neural …

Retinal prosthetics offer hope for patients with retinal degenerative diseases. There are 20–
25 million people worldwide who are blind or facing blindness due to these diseases, and …
