Substantial experimental, theoretical, and computational insights into sensory processing
have been derived from the phenomena of perceptual multistability—when two or more …

Attentional bottlenecks force animals to deeply process only a selected fraction of sensory
inputs. This motivates a unifying central-peripheral dichotomy (CPD), which separates …

Moral judgements about people based on their actions is a key component that guides
social decision making. It is currently unknown how positive or negative moral judgments …

Stimulus presentation is believed to quench neural response variability as measured by
fano-factor (FF). However, the relative contributions of within-trial spike irregularity and trial …

Ecological fitness depends on maintaining object histories to guide future interactions.
Recent evidence shows that value memory changes passive visual responses to objects in …

Reward is essential for shaping behavior. Using sensory cues to imply forthcoming rewards,
previous studies have demonstrated powerful effects of rewards on behavior. Nevertheless …

Obtaining valuable objects motivates many of our daily decisions. However, the neural
underpinnings of object processing based on human value memory are not yet fully …

Recent evidence demonstrates that long-term object value association can enhance visual
search efficiency, a phenomenon known as value pop-out. However, the neural mechanism …

Food choice is one of the most fundamental and most frequent value-based decisions for all
animals including humans. However, the neural circuitry involved in food-based decisions is …

Recent results show that valuable objects can pop out in visual search, yet its neural
mechanisms remain unexplored. Given the role of substantia nigra reticulata (SNr) in object …
