The brain has finite processing resources so that, as tasks become harder, performance
degrades. Where do the limits on these resources come from? We focus on a variety of …

When we move our eyes, we easily keep track of where relevant things are in the world.
Recent proposals link this stability to the shifting of receptive fields of neurons in eye …

Conventional views of brain organization suggest that regions at the top of the cortical
hierarchy processes internally oriented information using an abstract amodal neural code …

There is no generally accepted account of the function of the second visual cortical area
(V2), partly because no simple response properties robustly distinguish V2 neurons from …

Because the human visual system is continually being bombarded with inputs, it is
necessary to have effective mechanisms for filtering out irrelevant information. This is partly …

The human visual ability to recognize objects and scenes is widely thought to rely on
representations in category-selective regions of the visual cortex. These representations …

When participants performed a visual search task, functional MRI responses in entorhinal
cortex exhibited a sixfold periodic modulation by gaze-movement direction. The orientation …

For more than 100 years we have known that the visual field is mapped onto the surface of
visual cortex, imposing an inherently spatial reference frame on visual information …

We review human functional neuroimaging studies that have explicitly investigated the
reference frames used in different cortical regions for representing spatial locations of …

The representation of orientation in primary visual cortex (V1) has been examined at a fine
spatial scale corresponding to the columnar architecture. We present functional magnetic …
