Brain-wide circuits that coordinate affective and social behaviours intersect in the amygdala.
Consequently, amygdala lesions cause a heterogeneous array of social and non-social …

Brain perturbation studies allow detailed causal inferences of behavioral and neural
processes. Because the combination of brain perturbation methods and neural …

Endogenous attention is the cognitive function that selects the relevant pieces of sensory
information to achieve goals and it is known to be controlled by dorsal fronto-parietal brain …

One of the major challenges in system neurosciences consists in developing techniques for
estimating the cognitive information content in brain activity. This has an enormous potential …

Visual attention, visual working memory, and gaze control are basic functions that all select
a subset of visual input to guide immediate or subsequent behavior. In this review, we focus …

Despite a constant deluge of sensory stimulation, only a fraction of it is used to guide
behavior. This selective processing is generally referred to as attention, and much research …

Attention is an indispensable component of active vision. Contrary to the widely accepted
notion that temporal cortex processing primarily focusses on passive object recognition, a …

Recent fMRI experiments identified an attention-related region in the macaque temporal
cortex, here called the floor of the superior temporal sulcus (fSTS), as the primary cortical …

With every saccadic eye movement, humans bring new information into their fovea to be
processed with high visual acuity. Notably, perception is enhanced already before a relevant …

Our conscious experience of the world seems to go in lockstep with our attentional focus: We
tend to see, hear, taste, and feel what we attend to, and vice versa. This tight coupling …
