Area V5—a microcosm of the visual brain

S Zeki - Frontiers in integrative neuroscience, 2015 - frontiersin.org
Area V5 of the visual brain, first identified anatomically in 1969 as a separate visual area, is
critical for the perception of visual motion. As one of the most intensively studied parts of the …

A massively asynchronous, parallel brain

S Zeki - Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society …, 2015 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Whether the visual brain uses a parallel or a serial, hierarchical, strategy to process visual
signals, the end result appears to be that different attributes of the visual scene are …

Prestimulus feedback connectivity biases the content of visual experiences

E Rassi, A Wutz, N Müller-Voggel… - Proceedings of the …, 2019 - National Acad Sciences
Ongoing fluctuations in neural excitability and in networkwide activity patterns before
stimulus onset have been proposed to underlie variability in near-threshold stimulus …

Spatiotemporal neural network dynamics for the processing of dynamic facial expressions

W Sato, T Kochiyama, S Uono - Scientific reports, 2015 - nature.com
The dynamic facial expressions of emotion automatically elicit multifaceted psychological
activities; however, the temporal profiles and dynamic interaction patterns of brain activities …

Human posterior parietal cortex responds to visual stimuli as early as peristriate occipital cortex

TI Regev, J Winawer, EM Gerber… - European Journal of …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Much of what is known about the timing of visual processing in the brain is inferred from
intracranial studies in monkeys, with human data limited to mainly noninvasive methods with …

The Bayesian‐Laplacian brain

S Zeki, OY Chén - European Journal of Neuroscience, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
We outline what we believe could be an improvement in future discussions of the brain
acting as a Bayesian‐Laplacian system. We do so by distinguishing between two broad …

Multiple asynchronous stimulus‐and task‐dependent hierarchies (STDH) within the visual brain's parallel processing systems

S Zeki - European Journal of Neuroscience, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Results from a variety of sources, some many years old, lead ineluctably to a re‐appraisal of
the twin strategies of hierarchical and parallel processing used by the brain to construct an …

Magnetoencephalography: clinical and research practices

JR Stapleton-Kotloski, RJ Kotloski, G Popli… - Brain sciences, 2018 - mdpi.com
Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is a neurophysiological technique that detects the
magnetic fields associated with brain activity. Synthetic aperture magnetometry (SAM), a …

Learning the affective value of people: More than affect-based mechanisms

C Ferrari, DW Oh, BP Labbree, A Todorov - Acta Psychologica, 2020 - Elsevier
People's ability to learn about the affective value of others is impressive. However, it is
unclear whether this learning solely reflects general affect-based processes or a mixture of …

Retinotopic information interacts with category selectivity in human ventral cortex

F Uyar, S Shomstein, AS Greenberg, M Behrmann - Neuropsychologia, 2016 - Elsevier
Until recently, the general consensus with respect to the organization of ventral visual cortex
is that early, retinotopic regions are sensitive to the spatial position of the input stimuli …
