There is significant controversy over the existence and function of a direct subcortical visual pathway to the amygdala. It is thought that this pathway rapidly transmits low spatial …

Oscillatory neural activity within the gamma band (25–90 Hz) is generally thought to be able to provide a timing signal for harmonizing neural computations across different brain …
Whole-cell patch-clamp recordings and high-resolution 3D morphometric analyses of layer 3 pyramidal neurons in in vitro slices of monkey primary visual cortex (V1) and dorsolateral …
It has been proposed that perceptual decision making involves a task-difficulty component, which detects perceptual uncertainty and guides allocation of attentional resources. It is …
The effects of different EEG brain states on spontaneous firing of cortical populations are not well understood. Such state shifts may occur frequently under natural conditions, and …

One of the functions of the cerebral cortex is to increase the selectivity for stimulus features. Finding more about the mechanisms of increased cortical selectivity is important for …
Rapid visual flicker is known to capture attention. Here we show slow flicker can also capture attention under reciprocal temporal conditions. Observers searched for a target line …
The 1/f α amplitude spectrum is a statistical property of natural scenes characterising a specific distribution of spatial and temporal frequencies and their associated luminance …
Crowding by nearby features causes identification failures in the peripheral visual field [1, 2]. However, prominent visual features can sometimes fail to reach awareness [3, 4], causing …
