Despite intensive work on language–brain relations, and a fairly impressive accumulation of
knowledge over the last several decades, there has been little progress in developing large …

An analysis of response latencies shows that when an image is presented to the visual
system, neuronal activity is rapidly routed to a large number of visual areas. However, the …

Mounting evidence suggests that 'core object recognition,'the ability to rapidly recognize
objects despite substantial appearance variation, is solved in the brain via a cascade of …

First published in 1995, The Visual Brain in Action remains a seminal publication in the
cognitive sciences. It presents a model for understanding the visual processing underlying …

Most of our knowledge about the functional organization of neuronal systems is based on
the analysis of the firing patterns of individual neurons that have been recorded one by one …

Recent human fMRI pattern-decoding studies have highlighted the involvement of sensory
areas in visual working memory (VWM) tasks and argue for a sensory account of VWM …

The cortical visual system is almost universally thought to be segregated into two
anatomically and functionally distinct pathways: a ventral occipitotemporal pathway that …

We recorded the activity of single neurons in the posterior parietal cortex (area LIP) of two
rhesus monkeys while they discriminated the direction of motion in random-dot visual …

Here we review recent findings that reveal the functional properties of extra-striate regions in
the human visual cortex that are involved in the representation and perception of objects …

When subjects direct attention to a particular location in a visual scene, responses in the
visual cortex to stimuli presented at that location are enhanced, and the suppressive …
