Although we are continuously bombarded with visual input, only a fraction of incoming visual
events is perceived, remembered or acted on. The neural underpinnings of various forms of …

Why are some images easier to remember than others? Here, we review recent
developments in our understanding of 'image memorability', including its behavioral …

To explore how neural circuits represent novel versus familiar inputs, we presented mice
with repeated sets of images with novel images sparsely substituted. Using two-photon …

Anterior regions of the ventral visual stream encode substantial information about object
categories. Are top-down category-level forces critical for arriving at this representation, or …

Over the course of a lifetime, we process a continual stream of information. Extracted from
this stream, memories must be efficiently encoded and stored in an addressable manner for …

Episodic memory is believed to be intimately related to our experience of the passage of
time. Indeed, neurons in the hippocampus and other brain regions critical to episodic …

Notions of surprise and novelty have been used in various experimental and theoretical
studies across multiple brain areas and species. However,'surprise'and 'novelty'refer to …

Reports of expectation suppression have shaped the development of influential predictive
coding-based theories of visual perception. However recent work has highlighted …

Most accounts of image and object encoding in inferotemporal cortex (IT) focus on the
distinct patterns of spikes that different images evoke across the IT population. By analyzing …

Adaptive behavior requires the separation of current from future goals in working memory.
We used fMRI of object-selective cortex to determine the representational (dis) similarities of …
