Neurons can operate in two distinct ways, depending on the duration of the interval over
which they effectively summate incoming synaptic potentials. If this interval is of the order of …

The world is experienced as a unified whole, but sensory systems do not deliver it to the
brain in this way. Signals from different sensory modalities are initially registered in separate …

Sensory stimuli entering the nervous system follow particular paths of processing, typically
separated (segregated) from the paths of other modal information. However, sensory …

Shimon Edelman bases a comprehensive approach to visual representation on the notion of
correspondence between proximal (internal) and distal similarities in objects. Researchers …

▪ Abstract Synchronous activity among ensembles of neurons is a robust phenomenon
observed in many regions of the brain. With the increased use of multielectrode recording …

Biological structures can be seen as collections of special devices coordinated by a matrix of
organization. Devices are dif? cult to evolve and are meticulously conserved through the …

Just as the visual system parses complex scenes into identifiable objects, the auditory
system must organize sound elements scattered in frequency and time into coherent" …

Numerous theories of neural processing, often motivated by experimental observations,
have explored the computational properties of neural codes based on the absolute or …

The major problem in olfactory neuroscience is to determine how the brain discriminates
one odorant from another. The traditional approach involves identifying how particular …

The visual system analyses information by decomposing complex objects into simple
components (visual features) that are widely distributed across the cortex 1, 2. When several …
