A long-term goal of visual neuroscience is to develop and test quantitative models that
account for the moment-by-moment relationship between neural responses in early visual …

Our understanding of the neural basis of perceptual decision making has been built in part
on relating co-fluctuations of single neuron responses to perceptual decisions on a trial-by …

Studies of perceptual decision-making have often assumed that the main role of sensory
cortices is to provide sensory input to downstream processes that accumulate and drive …

An extension of the signal-detection theory framework is described and demonstrated for
two-alternative identification tasks. The extended framework assumes that the subject and …

Behavior varies even among genetically identical animals raised in the same environment–.
However, little is known about the circuit or anatomical underpinnings of this individuality …

Understanding perceptual decision-making requires linking sensory neural responses to
behavioral choices. In two-choice tasks, activity-choice covariations are commonly …

Human contrast discrimination performance is limited by transduction nonlinearities and
variability of the neural representation (noise). Whereas the nonlinearities have been well …

Neural decoding methods provide a powerful tool for quantifying the information content of
neural population codes and the limits imposed by correlations in neural activity. However …

Our perception of the world depends on a complex interplay between external sensory
inputs and our internal states. How and where in the brain the interactions between internal …

Globally, about 100 million people suffer from total or severe vision loss and visual
prostheses offer the potential to restore some visual function. One key target for visual …
