The superior colliculus is a layered structure important for body-and gaze-orienting
responses. Its superficial layer is, next to the lateral geniculate nucleus, the second major …

Representing the orientation of features in the visual image is a fundamental operation of
the early cortical visual system. The nature of such representations can be informed by …

The nature and origin of fMRI resting state fluctuations and connectivity are still not fully
known. More detailed knowledge on the relationship between resting state patterns and …

The current study investigates if early visual cortical areas, V1, V2 and V3, use predictive
coding to process motion information. Previous studies have reported biased visual motion …

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies have relied on multivariate analysis
methods to decode visual motion direction from measurements of cortical activity. Above …

Orientation processing in visual cortex appears matched to the environment, such that larger
neural populations are tuned to cardinal (horizontal/vertical) than oblique orientations. This …

Several studies demonstrate that visual stimulus motion affects neural receptive fields and
fMRI response amplitudes. Here we unite results of these two approaches and extend them …

When interacting with the dynamic world, the brain receives outdated sensory information,
due to the time required for neural transmission and processing. In motion perception, the …

Our visual system readily groups dynamic fragmented input into global objects. How the
brain represents global object perception remains however unclear. To address this …

Previous studies have demonstrated that the perceived direction of motion of a visual
stimulus can be decoded from the pattern of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) …
