Fueled by innovation in the computer vision and artificial intelligence communities, recent
developments in computational neuroscience have used goal-driven hierarchical …

There is increasing evidence that the brain relies on a set of canonical neural computations,
repeating them across brain regions and modalities to apply similar operations to different …

What determines what we see? In contrast to the traditional “modular” understanding of
perception, according to which visual processing is encapsulated from higher-level …

What happens in our brain when we make a decision? What triggers a neuron to send out a
signal? What is the neural code? This textbook for advanced undergraduate and beginning …

The ventral visual stream underlies key human visual object recognition abilities. However,
neural encoding in the higher areas of the ventral stream remains poorly understood. Here …

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 …

A central challenge for cognitive and systems neuroscience is to relate the incredibly
complex behavior of animals to the equally complex activity of their brains. Recently …

The advent of powerful perturbation tools, such as optogenetics, has created new frontiers
for probing causal dependencies in neural and behavioral states. These approaches have …

There is no generally accepted account of the function of the second visual cortical area
(V2), partly because no simple response properties robustly distinguish V2 neurons from …
