What mechanisms underlie flexible inter-areal communication in the cortex? We consider
four mechanisms for temporal coordination and their contributions to communication:(1) …

I propose that synchronization affects communication between neuronal groups. Gamma-
band (30–90 Hz) synchronization modulates excitation rapidly enough that it escapes the …

Philosopher Ned Block argues in this book that there is a" joint in nature" between
perception and cognition and that by exploring the nature of that joint, one can solve …

Non-recurrent deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are currently the best at
modeling core object recognition, a behavior that is supported by the densely recurrent …

Conventional functional connectivity (FC), referred to as low-order FC, estimates temporal
correlation of the resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) time series …

Primate visual cortex is hierarchically organized. Bottom-up and top-down influences are
exerted through distinct frequency channels, as was recently revealed in macaques by …

Selective attention comprises essential infrastructural functions supporting cognition—
anticipating, prioritizing, selecting, routing, integrating, and preparing signals to guide …

This review focuses on covert attention and how it alters early vision. I explain why attention
is considered a selective process, the constructs of covert attention, spatial endogenous and …

Selective visual attention describes the tendency of visual processing to be confined largely
to stimuli that are relevant to behavior. It is among the most fundamental of cognitive …

The brain has a limited capacity and therefore needs mechanisms to selectively enhance
the information most relevant to one's current behavior. We refer to these mechanisms as" …
