High-level neural structures constrain visual behavior
(2014-06-06)
Visual cognition is notoriously limited: only a finite amount of information can be fully processed at a given instant. What is the source of these limitations? Here, we suggest that the organization of higher-level visual ...
Temporal Processing in the Visual System
(2013-03-18)
Encoding time is one of the most important features of the mammalian brain. The visual system, comprising almost half of the brain is of no exception. Time processing enables us to make goal-directed behavior in the optimum ...
Goal-Directed Simulation of Past and Future Events: Cognitive and Neuroimaging Approaches
(2013-08-21)
Goal-directed episodic simulation, the imaginative construction of a hypothetical personal event or series of events focused on a specific goal, is essential to our everyday lives. We often imagine how we could solve a ...
Reachable environments in the mind and brain: insights into the visual representation of near-scale spaces
(2021-05-12)
Much of our visual experience consists of rich, close-scale environments: imagine the view of your desk as you type an email, or the kitchen counter as you prepare a meal. Vision science has identified mechanisms for ...
The Nature and Origins of Selectivity for Music in the Human Brain
(2022-01-04)
Music is uniquely and universally human, and arises early in development. Recent fMRI studies have revealed neural populations in non-primary auditory cortex that respond selectively to music, responding strongly to a wide ...
Dynamic dopaminergic activity controls the timing of self-timed movement.
(2021-05-14)
What makes us move? Human movement disorders like Parkinson’s disease have long suggested a vital role for dopamine in movement initiation, but there exists surprisingly little evidence connecting endogenous dopaminergic ...
