A subcortical pathway through the superior colliculus and pulvinar to the amygdala is
commonly assumed to mediate the non-conscious processing of affective visual stimuli. We …

Much of the visual cortex is organized into visual field maps: nearby neurons have receptive
fields at nearby locations in the image. Mammalian species generally have multiple visual …

Incoming sensory information is sent to the brain along modality-specific channels
corresponding to the five senses. Each of these channels further parses the incoming …

The small visual area known as MT or V5 has played a major role in our understanding of
the primate cerebral cortex. This area has been historically important in the concept of …

People see with feeling. We 'gaze','behold','stare','gape'and 'glare'. In this paper, we develop
the hypothesis that the brain's ability to see in the present incorporates a representation of …

Reflecting recent changes in the way cognition and the brain are studied, this thoroughly
updated fourth edition of this bestselling textbook provides a comprehensive and student …

Neuroscientists continue to search for 'the'neural correlate of consciousness (NCC). In this
article, I argue that a framework in which there are at least two distinct NCCs is increasingly …

Traditionally, research on vision focused on its role in perception and our cognitive life.
Except for the study of eye movements, which have been regarded as an information …

Neurons in area MT (V5) are selective for the direction of visual motion. In addition, many
are selective for the motion of complex patterns independent of the orientation of their …

Current hypotheses that use visually guided reaching and grasping to explain orbital
convergence, visual specialization, and brain expansion in primates are open to question …
