Successful speech perception requires that listeners map the acoustic signal to linguistic
categories. These map**s are not only probabilistic, but change depending on the …

Recent sensory experience affects both perception and the response properties of visual
neurons. Here I review a rapid form of experience-dependent plasticity that follows …

To understand how the brain processes sensory information to guide behavior, we must
know how stimulus representations are transformed throughout the visual cortex. Here we …

How should one quantify the strength of association between two random variables without
bias for relationships of a specific form? Despite its conceptual simplicity, this notion of …

Medial entorhinal grid cells display strikingly symmetric spatial firing patterns. The clarity of
these patterns motivated the use of specific activity pattern shapes to classify entorhinal cell …

How a sensory stimulus is processed and perceived depends on the surrounding sensory
scene. In the visual cortex, contextual signals can be conveyed by an extensive network of …

Fast fMRI enables the detection of neural dynamics over timescales of hundreds of
milliseconds, suggesting it may provide a new avenue for studying subsecond neural …

Sensory information encoded by humans and other organisms is generally presumed to be
as accurate as their biological limitations allow. However, perhaps counterintuitively …

Adaptation occurs in a variety of forms in all sensory systems, motivating the question: what
is its purpose? A productive approach has been to hypothesize that adaptation helps neural …

The auditory neural code must serve a wide range of auditory tasks that require great
sensitivity in time and frequency and be effective over the diverse array of sounds present in …
