During learning, the brain modifies synapses to improve behaviour. In the cortex, synapses
are embedded within multilayered networks, making it difficult to determine the effect of an …

I propose that synchronization affects communication between neuronal groups. Gamma-
band (30–90 Hz) synchronization modulates excitation rapidly enough that it escapes the …

This review focuses on covert attention and how it alters early vision. I explain why attention
is considered a selective process, the constructs of covert attention, spatial endogenous and …

The book you are about to read is about research that asks questions like" How do our
senses operate?"" What is the connection between nervous system activity and perception?" …

Modeling visual attention-particularly stimulus-driven, saliency-based attention-has been a
very active research area over the past 25 years. Many different models of attention are now …

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is currently the mainstay of neuroimaging in
cognitive neuroscience. Advances in scanner technology, image acquisition protocols …

Classical theories of sensory processing view the brain as a passive, stimulus-driven device.
By contrast, more recent approaches emphasize the constructive nature of perception …

In crowded visual scenes, attention is needed to select relevant stimuli. To study the
underlying mechanisms, we recorded neurons in cortical area V4 while macaque monkeys …

Studies in humans and non-human primates have provided evidence for storage of working
memory contents in multiple regions ranging from sensory to parietal and prefrontal cortex …

Recent years have seen an explosion of research on the N2 component of the event‐related
potential, a negative wave peaking between 200 and 350 ms after stimulus onset. This …
