Multichannel recording technologies have revealed travelling waves of neural activity in
multiple sensory, motor and cognitive systems. These waves can be spontaneously …

During the last few decades, neuroscientists have benefited from the emergence of many
powerful functional imaging techniques that cover broad spatial and temporal scales. We …

Tactile information is actively acquired and processed in the brain through concerted
interactions between movement and sensation. Somatosensory input is often the result of …

Propagating waves occur in many excitable media and were recently found in neural
systems from retina to neocortex. While propagating waves are clearly present under …

Electrode recordings and imaging studies have revealed that localized visual stimuli elicit
waves of activity that travel across primary visual cortex. Traveling waves are present also …

Perception is guided by the anticipation of future events. It has been hypothesized that this
process may be implemented by pattern completion in early visual cortex, in which a …

Although spiral waves are ubiquitous features of nature and have been observed in many
biological systems, their existence and potential function in mammalian cerebral cortex …

Spontaneous waves of activity propagating across large cortical areas may play important
roles in sensory processing and circuit refinement. However, whether these waves are in …

The development of voltage-sensitive dyes (VSD) and fast optical imaging techniques have
brought us a new tool for examining spatiotemporal patterns of population neuronal activity …

The illusion of apparent motion can be induced when visual stimuli are successively
presented at different locations. It has been shown in previous studies that motion-sensitive …
