Nearly all brain functions involve routing neural activity among a distributed network of
areas. Understanding this routing requires more than a description of interareal anatomical …

An animal's decision depends not only on incoming sensory evidence but also on its
fluctuating internal state. This state embodies multiple cognitive factors, such as arousal and …

Retinal degenerative diseases caused by photoreceptor cell death are major causes of
irreversible vision loss. As only primates have a macula, the nonhuman primate (NHP) …

Two commonly used approaches to study interactions among neurons are spike count
correlation, which describes pairs of neurons, and dimensionality reduction, applied to a …

Episodic memory enables humans to encode and later vividly retrieve information about our
rich experiences, yet the neural representations that support this mental capacity are poorly …

Attending to a single feature, such as color or motion, leads to global modulation of neural
processing associated with the representation of the attended features. Alpha‐band …

How does the brain internally represent a sequence of sensory information that jointly drives
a decision-making behavior? Studies of perceptual decision-making have often assumed …

Selective attention produces systematic effects on neural states. It is unclear whether,
conversely, momentary fluctuations in neural states have behavioral significance for …

Time courses of neural responses underlie real-time sensory processing and perception.
How these temporal dynamics change may be fundamental to how sensory systems adapt …

Attention can both enhance and suppress cortical sensory representations. However,
changing sensory representations can also be detrimental to behavior. Behavioral …
