New technologies in neuroscience generate reams of data at an exponentially increasing
rate, spurring the design of very-large-scale data-mining initiatives. Several supranational …

To understand how the brain processes sensory information to guide behavior, we must
know how stimulus representations are transformed throughout the visual cortex. Here we …

Low-level perception results from neural-based computations, which build a multimodal
skeleton of unconscious or self-generated inferences on our environment. This review …

Synchronization of neuronal discharges on the millisecond scale has long been recognized
as a prevalent and functionally important attribute of neural activity. In this article, I review …

Of all of the sensory areas, barrel cortex is among the best understood in terms of circuitry,
yet least understood in terms of sensory function. We combined intracellular recording in rats …

To better understand the representations in visual cortex, we need to generate better
predictions of neural activity in awake animals presented with their ecological input: natural …

In rodents, the progression of extrastriate areas located laterally to primary visual cortex (V1)
has been assigned to a putative object-processing pathway (homologous to the primate …

The ability to adapt to changes in stimulus statistics is a hallmark of sensory systems. Here,
we developed a theoretical framework that can account for the dynamics of adaptation from …

Intrinsic neuronal variability significantly limits information encoding in the primary visual
cortex (V1). Certain stimuli can suppress this intertrial variability to increase the reliability of …

The fovea dominates primate vision, and its anatomy and perceptual abilities are well
studied, but its physiology has been little explored because of limitations of current …
