When two tones with slightly different frequencies are presented to both ears, they interact in
the central auditory system and induce the sensation of a beating sound. At low difference …

Many previous studies have demonstrated that changes in selective attention can alter the
response magnitude of visual cortical neurons, but there has been little evidence for …

The human visual system is remarkably good at categorizing objects even in challenging
visual conditions. Here we specifically assessed the robustness of the visual system in the …

The emergence of cross-modal learning capabilities requires the interaction of neural areas
accounting for sensory and cognitive processing. Convergence of multiple sensory inputs is …

In all sensory systems, information is processed along several parallel streams. In the
vibrissa-to-barrel cortex system, these include the lemniscal system and the lesser-known …

Recordings of single neurons have yielded great insights into the way acoustic stimuli are
represented in auditory cortex. However, any one neuron functions as part of a population …

Visual inputs are far from ideal in everyday situations such as in the fog where the contrasts
of input stimuli are low. However, human perception remains relatively robust to contrast …

In this paper, we review several lines of recent work aimed at developing practical methods
for adaptive on-line stimulus generation for sensory neurophysiology. We consider various …

Many studies of neuromodulators have focused on changes in the magnitudes of neural
responses, but fewer studies have examined neuromodulator effects on response latency …

Dual intracellular recordings from pairs of synaptically connected neurones have
demonstrated that the frequency-dependent pattern of transmitter release varies …
