on-off transient ganglion cells of the turtle retina show distinct spike-event patterns in
response to abrupt intensity changes, such as during saccadic eye movements. These …

Decades of intracranial electrophysiological investigation into the primary visual cortex (V1)
have produced many fundamental insights into the computations carried out in low-level …

Many researchers have taken the Colavita effect to represent a paradigm case of visual
dominance. Broadly defined, the effect occurs when people fail to respond to an auditory …

Neurons in the visual cortex receive a large amount of input from recurrent connections, yet
the functional role of these connections remains unclear. Here we explore networks with …

Neurons fire even in the absence of sensory stimulation or task demands. Numerous
theoretical studies have modeled this spontaneous activity as a Poisson process with …

Neuronal communication forms the basis for all behavior, from the smallest movement to our
grandest thought processes. Among the many mechanisms that support these functions …

Entrainment of neural activity to luminance impulses during the refresh of cathode ray tube
monitor displays has been observed in the primary visual cortex (V1) of humans and …

Inferior temporal (IT) cortex as the final stage of the ventral visual pathway is involved in
visual object recognition. In our everyday life we need to recognize visual objects that are …

Neurones in visual cortex show increasing response latency with decreasing stimulus
contrast. Neurophysiological recordings from neurones in inferior temporal cortex (IT) and …

Abstract Information needs to be appropriately encoded to be reliably transmitted over
physical media. Similarly, neurons have their own codes to convey information in the brain …
