The ability to read a page of text or recognize a person's face depends on category-selective
visual regions in ventral temporal cortex (VTC). To understand how these regions mediate …

The question of whether attention makes sensory impressions appear more intense has
been a matter of debate for over a century. Recent psychophysical studies have reported …

Cognitive behaviour requires complex context-dependent processing of information that
emerges from the links between attentional perceptual processes, working memory and …

In the theoretical framework of this paper, attention is part of the inference process that
solves the visual recognition problem of what is where. The theory proposes a …

Attentional selection of an object for recognition is often modeled using all-or-nothing
switching of neuronal connection pathway from the attended region of the retinal input to the …

Attention is critical to perception, serving to select behaviorally relevant information for
privileged processing. To understand the neural mechanisms of attention, we must discern …

The computational processes by which attention improves behavioral performance were
characterized by measuring visual cortical activity with functional magnetic resonance …

How do neuronal populations represent concurrent stimuli? We measured population
responses in cat primary visual cortex (V1) using electrode arrays. Population responses to …

Natural visual scenes are cluttered and contain many different objects that cannot all be
processed simultaneously. Therefore, attentional mechanisms are needed to select relevant …

Cortical rhythms have been thought to play crucial roles in our cognitive abilities. Rhythmic
activity in the beta frequency band, around 20 Hz, has been reported in recent studies that …
