Sensory signals are highly structured in both space and time. These structural regularities in
visual information allow expectations to form about future stimulation, thereby facilitating …

Cognition results from interactions among functionally specialized but widely distributed
brain regions; however, neuroscience has so far largely focused on characterizing the …

Why are some visual stimuli consciously detected, whereas others remain subliminal? We
investigated the fate of weak visual stimuli in the visual and frontal cortex of awake monkeys …

How the brain selects appropriate sensory inputs and suppresses distractors is unknown.
Given the well-established role of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) in executive function, its …

We determined how learning modifies neural representations in primary visual cortex (V1)
during acquisition of a visually guided behavioral task. We imaged the activity of the same …

The paper is devoted to the review of the coherence resonance phenomenon in excitable
neural networks. In particular, we explain how coherence can be measured and how noise …

Mounting evidence suggests that understanding how the brain encodes information and
performs computations will require studying the correlations between neurons. The recent …

The majority of functional neuroscience studies have focused on the brain's response to a
task or stimulus. However, the brain is very active even in the absence of explicit input or …

Attention is a core property of all perceptual and cognitive operations. Given limited capacity
to process competing options, attentional mechanisms select, modulate, and sustain focus …

The study of decision making spans such varied fields as neuroscience, psychology,
economics, statistics, political science, and computer science. Despite this diversity of …
