A knowledge of the dynamics (temporal properties) of neuronal populations is essential for
an understanding of their function, and is also crucial when one attempts to develop …

Our visual system can process information at both conscious and unconscious levels.
Understanding the factors that control whether a stimulus reaches our awareness, and the …

Light Vision Color takes a well-balanced, interdisciplinary approach to our most important
sensory system. The book successfully combines basics in vision sciences with recent …

Rapid object recognition has survival significance. The extraction of topological properties
(TP) is proposed as the starting point of object perception. Behavioral evidence shows that …

The study of neurophysiological approaches together with rare and common risk factors for
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) allows elucidating the specific underlying neurobiology of …

Growing animal data evince a critical role of the sensory cortex in the long-term storage of
aversive conditioning, following acquisition and consolidation in the amygdala. Whether and …

Despite the vast amount of behavioral data showing a pronounced tendency in individuals
with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to process fine visual details, much less is known about …

Reaction times (RTs) are obtained for a wide range of contrasts of vertical sinusoidal
gratings. The data are plotted as a function of the reciprocal of contrast. In some conditions …

In primates, foveal and peripheral vision have distinct neural architectures and functions.
However, it has been debated if selective attention operates via the same or different neural …
