During learning, the brain modifies synapses to improve behaviour. In the cortex, synapses
are embedded within multilayered networks, making it difficult to determine the effect of an …

Paying attention to faces is of special interest for humans as well as for scientific research.
The experimental manipulation of facial information offers an ecologically valid approach to …

Attention is the important ability to flexibly control limited computational resources. It has
been studied in conjunction with many other topics in neuroscience and psychology …

I propose that synchronization affects communication between neuronal groups. Gamma-
band (30–90 Hz) synchronization modulates excitation rapidly enough that it escapes the …

Studies in humans and non-human primates have provided evidence for storage of working
memory contents in multiple regions ranging from sensory to parietal and prefrontal cortex …

The state of the brain and body constantly varies on rapid and slow timescales. These
variations contribute to the apparent noisiness of sensory responses at both the neural and …

Theories of attention posit that attentional guidance operates on information held in a target
template within memory. The template is often thought to contain veridical target features …

Here we review the role of brain oscillations in sensory processing. We examine the idea
that neural entrainment of intrinsic oscillations underlies the processing of rhythmic stimuli in …

Re-entrant or feedback pathways between cortical areas carry rich and varied information
about behavioural context, including attention, expectation, perceptual tasks, working …

Modeling visual attention-particularly stimulus-driven, saliency-based attention-has been a
very active research area over the past 25 years. Many different models of attention are now …
