Localizing Cortical Computations during Visual Selection
Local field potentials (LFPs) and spikes are two signals that can be recorded from the brain using extracellular microelectrodes. A study by Monosov et al. in this issue of Neuron using timing relations between these signals suggests that selection of a target from an array of distractors is a computational operation performed specifically and locally in the frontal eye field (FEF).
متن کاملLocalizing the cortical region mediating visual awareness of object identity.
Presentations of pictures that are too brief to be recognized, or even guessed above chance on a forced-choice test, nonetheless can facilitate the recognition of the same pictures many trials later. This subliminal visual priming was compared for images translated 4. 8 degrees either Within or Between quadrants of the visual field. Priming was evident only for images that remained within the s...
متن کاملFrontal and parietal cortical interactions with distributed visual representations during selective attention and action selection.
Using multivoxel pattern analysis (MVPA), we studied how distributed visual representations in human occipitotemporal cortex are modulated by attention and link their modulation to concurrent activity in frontal and parietal cortex. We detected similar occipitotemporal patterns during a simple visuoperceptual task and an attention-to-working-memory task in which one or two stimuli were cued bef...
متن کاملCortical computations via transient attractors
The ability of sensory networks to transiently store information on the scale of seconds can confer many advantages in processing time-varying stimuli. How a network could store information on such intermediate time scales, between typical neurophysiological time scales and those of long-term memory, is typically attributed to persistent neural activity. An alternative mechanism which might all...
متن کاملLocalizing value of epileptic visual auras.
It is difficult to differentiate between seizures of occipital or temporal lobe origin in patients with focal epileptic seizures associated with visual aura. These are often suspected to originate from the visual cortex, which causes reluctance to propose resection as treatment for the affected patient. To determine the value of localizing different types of visual auras, we report on 20 patien...
