Neurophysiological differentiation (ND), a measure of the number of distinct activity states
that a neural population visits over a time interval, has been used as a correlate of …

Despite significant progress in understanding neural coding, it remains unclear how the
coordinated activity of large populations of neurons relates to what an observer actually …

Visual processing shows a highly distributed organization in which the presentation of a
visual stimulus simultaneously activates neurons in multiple columns across several cortical …

Spontaneous firing is a ubiquitous property of neural activity in the brain. Recent literature
suggests that this baseline activity plays a key role in perception. However, it is not known …

Intrinsic cortical dynamics are thought to underlie trial-to-trial variability of visually evoked
responses in animal models. Understanding their function in the context of sensory …

One of the fundamental questions in system neuroscience is how the brain encodes external
stimuli in the early sensory cortex. It has been found in experiments that even some simple …

Modern recording techniques now allow us to record from distinct neuronal populations in
different brain networks. However, especially as we consider multiple (more than two) …

The neocortex can be viewed as a tapestry consisting of variations of rather stereotypical
local cortical microcircuits. Hence understanding how these microcircuits compute holds the …

Neural responses to visual stimuli exhibit complex temporal dynamics, including subadditive
temporal summation, response reduction with repeated or sustained stimuli (adaptation) …
