Animals and humans evolved sophisticated nervous systems that endowed them with the
ability to form internal-models or beliefs and make predictions about the future to survive and …

Voluntary attention selects behaviorally relevant signals for further processing while filtering
out distracter signals. Neural correlates of voluntary visual attention have been reported …

Visual attention is the cognitive process that mediates the selection of important information
from the environment. This selection is usually controlled by bottom-up and top-down …

Hierarchical processing requires activity propagating between higher-and lower-order
cortical areas. However, functional neuroimaging studies have chiefly quantified fluctuations …

Achieving behavioral goals requires integration of sensory and cognitive information across
cortical laminae and cortical regions. How this computation is performed remains unknown …

Macroscopic neuroimaging modalities in humans have revealed the organization of brain-
wide activity into distributed functional networks that re-organize according to behavioral …

Spontaneous fluctuations in cortical excitability influence sensory processing and behavior.
These fluctuations, long thought to reflect global changes in cortical state, were recently …

Sharp-wave ripples (SWRs) are highly synchronous neuronal activity events. They have
been predominantly observed in the hippocampus during offline states such as pause in …

Selective attention is thought to depend on enhanced firing activity in extrastriate areas.
Theories suggest that this enhancement depends on selective inter-areal communication via …

Inhibitory interneurons are believed to realize critical gating functions in cortical circuits, but
it has been difficult to ascertain the content of gated information for well-characterized …
