The parahippocampal cortex (PHC) has been associated with many cognitive processes,
including visuospatial processing and episodic memory. To characterize the role of PHC in …

Current knowledge on the architecture of exogenous attention (also called automatic, bottom-
up, or stimulus-driven attention, among other terms) has been mainly obtained from studies …

A fast, subcortical pathway to the amygdala is thought to have evolved to enable rapid
detection of threat. This pathway's existence is fundamental for understanding nonconscious …

Visual brain areas exhibit tuning characteristics well suited for image statistics present in our
natural environment. However, visual sensation is an active process, and if there are any …

The book you are about to read is about research that asks questions like" How do our
senses operate?"" What is the connection between nervous system activity and perception?" …

The neurovisceral integration model posits that cardiac vagal tone, indexed by heart rate
variability (HRV), can indicate the functional integrity of the neural networks implicated in …

Traditional approaches to human information processing tend to deal with perception and
action planning in isolation, so that an adequate account of the perception-action interface is …

First published in 1995, The Visual Brain in Action remains a seminal publication in the
cognitive sciences. It presents a model for understanding the visual processing underlying …

Multiple visual areas in the cortex of nonhuman primates are organized into two
hierarchically organized and functionally specialized processing pathways, a 'ventral …

Most of our knowledge about the functional organization of neuronal systems is based on
the analysis of the firing patterns of individual neurons that have been recorded one by one …
