Sensory systems must rely on powerful mechanisms for organizing complex information. We
propose a framework in which inhibitory alpha oscillations limit and prioritize neuronal …

Neuroscience research has exploded, with more than fifty thousand neuroscientists applying
increasingly advanced methods. A mountain of new facts and mechanisms has emerged …

Novel genetically encoded tools and advanced microscopy methods have revolutionized
neural circuit analyses in insects and rodents over the last two decades. Whereas numerous …

The neuronal mechanisms underlying perceptual grouping of discrete, similarly oriented
elements are not well understood. To investigate this, we measured neural population …

Higher visual areas in the occipitotemporal cortex contain discrete regions for face
processing, but it remains unclear if V 1 is modulated by top‐down influences during face …

We investigated the cortical mechanisms underlying the visual perception of luminance-
defined surfaces and the preference for black over white stimuli in the macaque primary …

The complexity of natural environments requires highly flexible mechanisms for adaptive
processing of single and multiple stimuli. Neuronal oscillations could be an ideal candidate …

The neuronal mechanism underlying the representation of color surfaces in primary visual
cortex (V1) is not well understood. We tested on color surfaces the previously proposed …

Luminance and spatial contrast provide information on the surfaces and edges of objects.
We investigated neural responses to black and white surfaces in the primary visual cortex …

Apparent motion is a visual illusion in which stationary stimuli, flashing in distinct spatial
locations at certain time intervals, are perceived as one stimulus moving between these …
