Brains at rest generate dynamical activity that is highly structured in space and time. We
suggest that spontaneous activity, as in rest or dreaming, underlies top-down dynamics of …

The goal of consciousness research is to reveal the neural basis of phenomenal experience.
To study phenomenology, experimenters seem obliged to ask reports from the subjects to …

While judging their sensory environments, decision-makers seem to use the uncertainty
about their choices to guide adjustments of their subsequent behaviour. One possible …

Re-entrant or feedback pathways between cortical areas carry rich and varied information
about behavioural context, including attention, expectation, perceptual tasks, working …

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 …

Traditionally studies of brain function have focused on task-evoked responses. By their very
nature such experiments tacitly encourage a reflexive view of brain function. While such an …

Mounting evidence suggests that understanding how the brain encodes information and
performs computations will require studying the correlations between neurons. The recent …

The brain continuously adapts its processing machinery to behavioural demands. To
achieve this, it rapidly modulates the operating mode of cortical circuits, controlling the way …

Decision-makers often arrive at different choices when faced with repeated presentations of
the same evidence. Variability of behavior is commonly attributed to noise in the brain's …
