Parsing a cognitive task into a sequence of operations is a central problem in cognitive
neuroscience. We argue that a major advance is now possible owing to the application of …

Highlights•Modern recording technologies are creating data at a scale and complexity that
demand rigorous data analytical approaches.•Neural data science is an essential bridge …

Neurons in the dorsal visual pathway of the mammalian brain are selective for motion
stimuli, with the complexity of stimulus representations increasing along the hierarchy. This …

Many cortical neurons combine the information ascending and descending the cortical
hierarchy. In the classical view, this information is combined nonlinearly to give rise to a …

The computation represented by a sensory neuron's response to stimuli is constructed from
an array of physiological processes both belonging to that neuron and inherited from its …

During perceptual decision-making, responses in the middle temporal (MT) and lateral
intraparietal (LIP) areas appear to map onto theoretically defined quantities, with MT …

Identifying the structure of motion relations in the environment is critical for navigation,
tracking, prediction, and pursuit. Yet, little is known about the mental and neural …

Studies in biological vision have always been a great source of inspiration for design of
computer vision algorithms. In the past, several successful methods were designed with …

Perceptual decisions require the transformation of raw sensory inputs into cortical
representations suitable for stimulus discrimination. One of the best-known examples of this …

The visual system is split into two processing streams: a ventral stream that receives color
and form information and a dorsal stream that receives motion information. Each stream …
