▪ Abstract The discovery and analysis of cortical visual areas is a major accomplishment of
visual neuroscience. In the past decade the use of noninvasive functional imaging …

Many sources of fluctuation contribute to the functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)
signal, complicating attempts to infer those changes that are truly related to brain activation …

As many as two million people in the United Kingdom repeatedly see people, animals, and
objects that have no objective reality. Hallucinations on the border of sleep, dementing …

Multistable perception is the spontaneous alternation between two or more perceptual states
that occurs when sensory information is ambiguous. Multistable phenomena permit …

Independent component analysis (ICA) is a valuable technique for the multivariate data-
driven analysis of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data sets. Applications of …

We present a general method for the classification of independent components (ICs)
extracted from functional MRI (fMRI) data sets. The method consists of two steps. In the first …

When viewing ambiguous stimuli, conscious perception alternates spontaneously between
competing interpretations of physically unchanged stimulus information. As one possible …

Amblyopia is a neurodevelopmental disorder of the visual system that is associated with
disrupted binocular vision during early childhood. There is evidence that the effects of …

When looking at ambiguous visual stimuli, the observer experiences frequent spontaneous
transitions between two competing percepts while physical stimulation remains unchanged …

The brain is constantly faced with the challenge of organizing acoustic input from multiple
sound sources into meaningful auditory objects or perceptual streams. The present study …
