The impact of the human thalamus on brain-wide information processing
The thalamus is a small, bilateral structure in the diencephalon that integrates signals from
many areas of the CNS. This critical anatomical position allows the thalamus to influence …

From behavior to neural dynamics: an integrated theory of attention
TJ Buschman, S Kastner - Neuron, 2015 - cell.com
The brain has a limited capacity and therefore needs mechanisms to selectively enhance
the information most relevant to one's current behavior. We refer to these mechanisms as" …

Attention, uncertainty, and free-energy
H Feldman, KJ Friston - Frontiers in human neuroscience, 2010 - frontiersin.org
We suggested recently that attention can be understood as inferring the level of uncertainty
or precision during hierarchical perception. In this paper, we try to substantiate this claim …
