For most people the use of visual imagery is pervasive in daily life, but for a small group of
people the experience of visual imagery is entirely unknown. Research based on subjective …

The laminar location of the cell bodies and terminals of interareal connections determines
the hierarchical structural organization of the cortex and has been intensively studied …

Signals derived from the rat motor cortex can be used for controlling one-dimensional
