Selective visual attention describes the tendency of visual processing to be confined largely
to stimuli that are relevant to behavior. It is among the most fundamental of cognitive …

The cortical sites for the trans-saccadic storage and integration of visual object features are
unknown. Here, we used a variant of fMRI-Adaptation where subjects fixated to the left or …

Understanding how activity of visual neurons represents distinct components of attention
and their dynamics that account for improved visual performance remains elusive because …

Each time we make an eye movement, attention moves before the eyes, resulting in a
perceptual enhancement at the target. Recent psychophysical studies suggest that this pre …

Abstract Objects that promise rewards are prioritized for visual selection. The way this
prioritization shapes sensory processing in visual cortex, however, is debated. It has been …

Preparation is a top-down phenomenon known to improve performance across different
situations. In light of recent electrophysiological findings that suggest that anticipatory neural …

The world is complex and constantly changing. We are bombarded by a large number of
stimuli that generate ambiguous patterns in our sensory receptors, to which we usually need …

We use sensory information in remarkably flexible ways. We can generalize by ignoring task-
irrelevant features, report different features of a stimulus, and use different actions to report a …

Transsaccadic memory is a process by which remembered object information is updated
across a saccade. To date, studies on transsaccadic memory have used simple stimuli—that …

Intense attentional effort improves performance. Neurons in visual area V4 exhibit changes
in spike rates that are correlated with effort, selective attention and absolute reward …
