INTRODUCTION Perceptual experiences in mammals may arise from patterns of neural
circuit activity in cerebral cortex. For example, primary visual cortex (V1) is causally capable …

In the social sciences it is common practice to test specific theoretically motivated research
hypotheses using formal statistical procedures. Typically, students in these disciplines are …

Foveated rendering synthesizes images with progressively less detail outside the eye
fixation region, potentially unlocking significant speedups for wide field-of-view displays …

Humans have long been fascinated by the opportunities afforded through augmentation.
This vision not only depends on technological innovations but also critically relies on our …

The mechanistic link between neural circuit activity and behavior remains unclear. While
manipulating cortical activity can bias certain behaviors and elicit artificial percepts, some …

Many theories of brain function propose that activity in sparse subsets of neurons underlies
perception and action. To place a lower bound on the amount of neural activity that can be …

Recent studies from the field of interoception have highlighted the link between bodily and
neural rhythms during action, perception, and cognition. The mechanisms underlying …

Foveated rendering is a performance optimization based on the well-known degradation of
peripheral visual acuity. It reduces computational costs by showing a high-quality image in …

An intriguing notion in cognitive neuroscience posits that alpha oscillations mould how the
brain parses the constant influx of sensory signals into discrete perceptual events. Yet, the …

Psychometric curve fits relate physical stimuli to an observer's performance. In experiments
an observer may “lapse” and respond with a random guess, which may negatively impact …
