Many everyday situations require combining complex sensory signals about the external
world with ongoing goals and expectations. Here I examine the role of attention in this …

Current hypotheses that use visually guided reaching and grasping to explain orbital
convergence, visual specialization, and brain expansion in primates are open to question …

Working memory (WM) is one of key concepts to understand functions of the prefrontal
cortex. Delay-period activity is an important neural correlate to understand the role of WM in …

The ventral intraparietal area (VIP) receives converging inputs from visual, somatosensory,
auditory and vestibular systems that use diverse reference frames to encode sensory …

The global prominence of snakes in religion, myth, and folklore underscores our deep
connection to them—but why, when few of us have firsthand experience? The answer, Isbell …

Natural exploration of complex visual scenes depends on saccadic eye movements toward
important locations. Saccade targeting is thought to be mediated by a retinotopic map that …

The integration of visual and auditory events is thought to require a joint representation of
visual and auditory space in a common reference frame. We investigated the coding of …

Posterior parietal cortex in primates contains several functional areas associated with visual
control of body effectors (eg, arm, hand and head) which contain neurons tuned to specific …

Perceptual aftereffects provide a sensitive tool to investigate the influence of eye and head
position on visual processing. There have been recent indications that the TAE is remapped …

Visual input during natural behavior is highly dependent on movements of the eyes and
head, but how information about eye and head position is integrated with visual processing …
