Ever since Hubel and Wiesel described orientation selectivity in the visual cortex, the
question of how precise selectivity emerges has been marked by considerable debate …

Classification images have recently become a widely used tool in visual psychophysics.
Here, I review the development of classification image methods over the past fifteen years. I …

Recent research indicates that perceptual learning (PL)—experience-induced changes in
the way perceivers extract information—plays a larger role in complex cognitive tasks …

The extrastriate cortex of primates encompasses a substantial portion of the cerebral cortex
and is devoted to the higher order processing of visual signals and their dispatch to other …

To test theories of orientation selectivity in primary visual cortex (V1), we have done
experiments to measure the dynamics of orientation tuning of single neurons in the V1 …

This article presents a review of reverse correlation in neurophysiology. We discuss the
basis of reverse correlation in linear transducers and in spiking neurons. The application of …

Orientation selectivity (OS) is an emergent property in the primary visual cortex (V1). How
OS arises from synaptic circuits remains unsolved. Here, in vivo whole-cell recordings in the …

Form has a strong influence on color perception. We investigated the neural basis of the
form–color link in macaque primary visual cortex (V1) by studying orientation selectivity of …

Most neurons in macaque area MT are selective for the direction of stimulus motion. By
comparing direction selectivity for gratings and plaids, we classified MT neurons as pattern …

Although several lines of evidence suggest that stimulus selectivity in somatosensory and
visual cortices is critically dependent on unselective inhibition, particularly in the …
