Concepts shape the interpretation of facts. One of the most popular concepts in systems
neuroscience is that of 'hierarchy'. However, this concept has been interpreted in many …

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 …

" Our thoughts are meaningful. We think about things in the outside world; how can that be
so? This is one of the deepest questions in contemporary philosophy. Ever since …

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 …

Ongoing fluctuations in neural excitability and in networkwide activity patterns before
stimulus onset have been proposed to underlie variability in near-threshold stimulus …

Though first published almost one century ago, and though its premise has been disputed,
Clive Bell's essay on aesthetics in his book Art still provides fertile ground for discussing …

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 …

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 …

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 …

We here extend and complement our earlier time-based, magneto-encephalographic
(MEG), study of the processing of forms by the visual brain (Shigihara and Zeki,) with a …
