Normalization as a canonical neural computation

M Carandini, DJ Heeger - Nature reviews neuroscience, 2012 - nature.com
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 …

[HTML][HTML] Peripheral vision and pattern recognition: A review

H Strasburger, I Rentschler, M Jüttner - Journal of vision, 2011 - iovs.arvojournals.org
We summarize the various strands of research on peripheral vision and relate them to

[HTML][HTML] Crowding—An essential bottleneck for object recognition: A mini-review

DM Levi - Vision research, 2008 - Elsevier
Crowding, generally defined as the deleterious influence of nearby contours on visual
discrimination, is ubiquitous in spatial vision. Crowding impairs the ability to recognize …

[HTML][HTML] How the visual aspects can be crucial in reading acquisition: The intriguing case of crowding and developmental dyslexia

S Gori, A Facoetti - Journal of vision, 2015 - iovs.arvojournals.org
Developmental dyslexia (DD) is the most common neurodevelopmental disorder (about
10% of children across cultures) characterized by severe difficulties in learning to read …

Walking enhances peripheral visual processing in humans

L Cao, B Händel - PLoS biology, 2019 - journals.plos.org
Cognitive processes are almost exclusively investigated under highly controlled settings

Representation of concurrent stimuli by population activity in visual cortex

L Busse, AR Wade, M Carandini - Neuron, 2009 - cell.com
How do neuronal populations represent concurrent stimuli? We measured population
responses in cat primary visual cortex (V1) using electrode arrays. Population responses to …

Continuous flash suppression modulates cortical activity in early visual cortex

S Yuval-Greenberg, DJ Heeger - Journal of Neuroscience, 2013 - Soc Neuroscience
A salient visual stimulus can be rendered invisible by presenting it to one eye while flashing
a mask to the other eye. This procedure, called continuous flash suppression (CFS), has …

[HTML][HTML] Modeling center–surround configurations in population receptive fields using fMRI

W Zuiderbaan, BM Harvey, SO Dumoulin - Journal of vision, 2012 - iovs.arvojournals.org
Antagonistic center–surround configurations are a central organizational principle of our
visual system. In visual cortex, stimulation outside the classical receptive field can decrease …

A recurrent circuit implements normalization, simulating the dynamics of V1 activity

DJ Heeger, KO Zemlianova - Proceedings of the National …, 2020 - National Acad Sciences
