Several theoretical, computational, and experimental studies suggest that neurons encode
sensory information using a small number of active neurons at any given point in time. This …

Response reliability is complementary to more conventional measurements of response
amplitudes, and can reveal phenomena that response amplitudes do not. Here we review …

Aims and Scope This book is both an introductory textbook and a research monograph on
modeling the statistical structure of natural images. In very simple terms,“natural images” are …

To produce consistent sensory perception, neurons must maintain stable representations of
sensory input. However, neurons in many regions exhibit progressive drift across days …

Most synaptic inputs are made onto the dendritic tree. Recent work has shown that dendrites
play an active role in transforming synaptic input into neuronal output and in defining the …

We can claim that we know what the visual system does once we can predict neural
responses to arbitrary stimuli, including those seen in nature. In the early visual system …

How do neuronal populations in the auditory cortex represent acoustic stimuli? Although
sound-evoked neural responses in the anesthetized auditory cortex are mainly transient …

Autism is characterized by qualitative abnormalities in behavior and higher order cognitive
functions. Minicolumnar irregularities observed in autism provide a neurologically sound …

Natural scenes sparsely activate neurons in the primary visual cortex (V1). However, how
sparsely active neurons reliably represent complex natural images and how the information …

During vision, it is believed that neural activity in the primary visual cortex is predominantly
driven by sensory input from the environment. However, visual cortical neurons respond to …
