We can claim that we know what the visual system does once we can predict neural
responses to arbitrary stimuli, including those seen in nature. In the early visual system …

Visual backward masking not only is an empirically rich and theoretically interesting
phenomenon but also has found increasing application as a powerful methodological tool in …

Our visual system can process information at both conscious and unconscious levels.
Understanding the factors that control whether a stimulus reaches our awareness, and the …

A recent computational theory suggests that visual processing in the retina and the lateral
geniculate nucleus (LGN) serves to recode information into an efficient form. Information …

How Do Action Potentials Represent Information? given that the price of home video
systems is strongly Action potentials are the standard signal conveyed berelated to how …

To judge causality, organisms must determine the temporal order of their actions and
sensations. However, this judgment may be confounded by changing delays in sensory …

Our perception of a visual scene changes rapidly in time, even when the scene itself does
not. It is increasingly clear that understanding how the visual percept changes in time is …

Advances in our understanding of natural image statistics and of gain control within the
retinal circuitry are leading to new insights into the classic problem of retinal light adaptation …

We measured brain activity, perceptual thresholds, and reading performance in a group of
dyslexic and normal readers to test the hypothesis that dyslexia is associated with an …

Ibotenic-acid lesions of the magnocelluar portion of the macaque lateral geniculate nucleus
were used to examine the role of the M-cell pathway in spatio-temporal contrast sensitivity. A …
