Cortical networks exhibit intrinsic dynamics that drive coordinated, large-scale fluctuations across neuronal populations and create noise correlations that impact sensory coding. To …
Cognitive operations are widely studied by measuring electric fields through EEG and ECoG. However, despite their widespread use, the neural circuitry giving rise to these …
Visual search performance varies with stimulus and response history. Priming of pop-out refers to increased accuracy and reduced response time with repeated presentation of …
Most of the mammalian neocortex is comprised of a highly similar anatomical structure, consisting of a granular cell layer between superficial and deep layers. Even so, different …
Salient objects grab attention because they stand out from their surroundings. Whether this phenomenon is accomplished by bottom-up sensory processing or requires top-down …
The vast majority of mammalian neocortex consists of a stereotypical microcircuit, the canonical cortical microcircuit (CCM), consisting of a granular input layer, positioned …
Growing evidence suggests that distributed spatial attention may invoke theta (3-9 Hz) rhythmic sampling processes. The neuronal basis of such attentional sampling is however …
In any given instant, our senses are bombarded by a surplus of information. Transforming this information into adaptive behaviour is imperative to the survival of all animals. The …
Globally, about 100 million people suffer from total or severe vision loss and visual prostheses offer the potential to restore some visual function. One key target for visual …
