Perception operates on an immense amount of incoming information that greatly exceeds
the brain's processing capacity. Because of this fundamental limitation, the ability to …

Primate visual cortex consists of dozens of distinct brain areas, each providing a highly
specialized component to the sophisticated task of encoding the incoming sensory …

Spatial attention shifts receptive fields in monkey extrastriate visual cortex toward the focus
of attention (S. Ben Hamed, JR Duhamel, F. Bremmer, & W. Graf, 2002; CE Connor, JL …

Directing spatial attention to a location inside the classical receptive field (cRF) of a neuron
in macaque medial temporal area (MT) shifts the center of the cRF toward the attended …

Neurons in the primate extrastriate cortex are highly selective for complex stimulus features
such as faces, objects, and motion patterns. One explanation for this selectivity is that …

Visual motion perception relies on two opposing operations: integration and segmentation.
Integration overcomes motion ambiguity in the visual image by spatial pooling of motion …

The processing of visual motion is conducted by dedicated pathways in the primate brain.
These pathways originate with populations of direction-selective neurons in the primary …

Neuronal selectivity results from both excitatory and suppressive inputs to a given neuron.
Suppressive influences can often significantly modulate neuronal responses and impart …

In the primate visual system, direction-selective (DS) neurons are critical for visual motion
perception. While DS neurons in the dorsal visual pathway have been well characterized …

Visual neurons integrate information over a finite part of the visual field with high selectivity.
This classical receptive field is modulated by peripheral inputs that play a role in both …
