Functional magnetic resonance imaging adaptation (fMRIa) is an increasingly popular
method that aims to provide insight into the functional properties of subpopulations of …

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

Many animals orient using visual cues, but how a single cue is selected from among many is
poorly understood. Here we show that Drosophila ring neurons—central brain neurons …

Nervous systems adapt to the prevailing sensory environment, and the consequences of this
adaptation can be observed in the responses of single neurons and in perception. Given the …

Biphasic neural response properties, where the optimal stimulus for driving a neural
response changes from one stimulus pattern to the opposite stimulus pattern over short …

We propose a bio-inspired feedforward spiking network modeling two brain areas dedicated
to motion (V1 and MT), and we show how the spiking output can be exploited in a computer …

Animals are often bombarded with visual information and must prioritize specific visual
features based on their current needs. The neuronal circuits that detect and relay visual …

The primate visual system is arranged hierarchically, starting from the retina and continuing
through a series of extrastriate visual areas. Selectivity for motion is first found in individual …

Motion perception is the process through which one gathers information on the dynamic
visual world, in terms of the speed and movement direction of its elements. Motion sensation …

The perceptual interpretation of a given visual feature depends on the surrounding context.
To explore the neural mechanisms underlying such contextual interactions in the motion …
