Abstract System identification is a growing approach to sensory neurophysiology that
facilitates the development of quantitative functional models of sensory processing. This …

Now that recordings of multiple, individual action potentials are being made with chronic
electrodes, it seems that previous work showing simple encoding of movement parameters …

Response properties of sensory neurons are commonly described using receptive fields.
This description may be formalized in a model that operates with a small set of linear filters …

This article presents a review of reverse correlation in neurophysiology. We discuss the
basis of reverse correlation in linear transducers and in spiking neurons. The application of …

Direction-selective neurons in the primary visual cortex (V1) and the extrastriate motion area
MT/V5 constitute a critical channel that links early cortical mechanisms of spatiotemporal …

We examined how spatially directed attention affected the integration of motion in neurons of
the middle temporal (MT) area of visual cortex. We recorded from single MT neurons while …

Neurons in the dorsal subdivision of the medial superior temporal area (MSTd) show
directionally selective responses to both visual (optic flow) and vestibular stimuli that …

Requisite for understanding cerebellar function is a complete characterization of the signals
provided by complex spike (CS) discharge of Purkinje cells, the output neurons of the …

Expectations, especially those formed on the basis of extensive training, can substantially
enhance visual performance. However, it is not clear that the physiological mechanisms …

In sensory neurophysiology, reverse correlation analyses have advanced our understanding
of the spatio-temporal structure of receptive fields (RFs) and the tuning properties of …
