Computational modeling of the primate visual system yields insights of potential relevance to
some of the challenges that computer vision is facing, such as object recognition and …

The small visual area known as MT or V5 has played a major role in our understanding of
the primate cerebral cortex. This area has been historically important in the concept of …

The book you are about to read is about research that asks questions like" How do our
senses operate?"" What is the connection between nervous system activity and perception?" …

A basic difficulty for the nervous system is integrating locally ambiguous sensory information
to form accurate perceptions about the outside world,,,. This local-to-global problem is also …

Neurons in area MT (V5) are selective for the direction of visual motion. In addition, many
are selective for the motion of complex patterns independent of the orientation of their …

A wide variety of papers have reviewed what is known about the function of primary visual
cortex. In this review, rather than stating what is known, we attempt to estimate how much is …

Feedback connections are prevalent throughout the cerebral cortex, yet their function
remains poorly understood. Previous studies in anesthetized monkeys found that …

Feedback projections are an integral part of the mammalian visual system. Although it is
tempting to relegate them to a subsidiary role in visual processing, because their supposed …

The extrastriate cortex of primates encompasses a substantial portion of the cerebral cortex
and is devoted to the higher order processing of visual signals and their dispatch to other …

Just as vision scientists study visual art and illusions to elucidate the workings of the visual
system, so too can cognitive scientists study cognitive illusions to elucidate the …
