Visual area V4 is a midtier cortical area in the ventral visual pathway. It is crucial for visual
object recognition and has been a focus of many studies on visual attention. However, there …

The primary visual cortex (V1) is probably the best characterized area of primate cortex, but
whether this region contributes directly to conscious visual experience is controversial. Early …

This is a review of the research during the past 25years on cortical processing of color
signals. At the beginning of the period the modular view of cortical processing …

Considerable information about mental states can be decoded from noninvasive measures
of human brain activity. Analyses of brain activity patterns can reveal what a person is …

Visual coding is a highly dynamic process and continuously adapting to the current viewing
context. The perceptual changes that result from adaptation to recently viewed stimuli …

Some fundamental principles of colour vision, deduced from perceptual studies, have been
understood for a long time. Physiological studies have confirmed the existence of three …

The perception of colour is a central component of primate vision. Colour facilitates object
perception and recognition, and has an important role in scene segmentation and visual …

▪ Abstract Color vision starts with the absorption of light in the retinal cone photoreceptors,
which transduce electromagnetic energy into electrical voltages. These voltages are …

Mirror neurons, as originally described in the macaque, have two defining properties [1, 2]:
They respond specifically to a particular action (eg, bringing an object to the mouth), and …

A network of fronto-parietal cortical areas is known to be involved in the control of visual
attention, but the representational scope and specific function of these areas remains …
