Existing models propose that primate visual cortex is divided into two functionally distinct
pathways. The ventral pathway computes the identity of an object; the dorsal pathway …

▪ Abstract The prefrontal cortex has long been suspected to play an important role in
cognitive control, in the ability to orchestrate thought and action in accordance with internal …

Individual neurons in many cortical regions have been found to encode specific, identifiable
features of the environment or body that pertain to the function of the region,–. However, in …

We have developed a near-real-time computer system that can locate and track a subject's
head, and then recognize the person by comparing characteristics of the face to those of …

Anderson offers systematic and accessible presentation of the theoretical foundations of
higher mental processes, with each important idea made concrete by specific examples and …

In area F5 of the monkey premotor cortex there are neurons that discharge both when the
monkey performs an action and when he observes a similar action made by another monkey …

What is consciousness and how can a brain, a mere collection of neurons, create it? In
Consciousness and the Social Brain, Princeton neuroscientist Michael Graziano lays out an …

Event-related potentials (ERPs) associated with face perception were recorded with scalp
electrodes from normal volunteers. Subjects performed a visual target detection task in …

The prefrontal cortex makes up almost a quarter of the human brain, and it expanded
dramatically during primate evolution. The Neurobiology of the Prefrontal Cortex presents a …

Visual processing in cortex is classically modeled as a hierarchy of increasingly
sophisticated representations, naturally extending the model of simple to complex cells of …
