Very early responses to colour stimuli detected in prestriate visual cortex by magnetoencephalography (MEG) [PDF]
Our previous studies with the visual motion and form systems show that visual stimuli belonging to these categories trigger much earlier latency responses from the visual cortex than previously supposed and that the source of the earliest signals can be ...

The Visual Mismatch Negativity Elicited with Visual Speech Stimuli
The visual mismatch negativity (vMMN), deriving from the brain’s response to stimulus deviance, is thought to be generated by the cortex that represents the stimulus. The vMMN response to visual speech stimuli was used in a study of the lateralization of

The Development of Dominance Stripes and Orientation Maps in a Self-Organising Visual Cortex Network (VICON) [PDF]
A self-organising neural network is presented that is based on a rigorous Bayesian analysis of the information contained in individual neural firing events. This leads to a visual cortex network (VICON) that has many of the properties emerge when a mammalian visual cortex is exposed to data arriving from two imaging sensors (i.e. the two retinae), such

Towards a Theory of the Laminar Architecture of Cerebral Cortex: Computational Clues from the Visual System [PDF]
One of the most exciting and open research frontiers in neuroscience is that of seeking to understand the functional roles of the layers of cerebral cortex.

Anatomical pathways for auditory memory II: information from rostral superior temporal gyrus to dorsolateral temporal pole and medial temporal cortex [PDF]
Auditory recognition memory in non-human primates differs from recognition memory in other sensory systems. Monkeys learn the rule for visual and tactile delayed matching-to-sample within a few sessions, and then show one-trial recognition memory lasting

Linking Visual Cortex to Visual Perception: An Alternative to the Gestalt Bubble [PDF]
Lehar's lively discussion builds on a critique of neural models of vision that is incorrect in its general and specific claims. He espouses a Gestalt perceptual approach, rather than one consistent with the "objective neurophysiological state of the ...

Linking the Laminar Circuits of Visual Cortex to Visual Perception [PDF]
A detailed neural model is being developed of how the laminar circuits of visual cortical areas V1 and V2 implement context-sensitive binding processes such as perceptual grouping and attention, and develop and learn in a stable way.

Word contexts enhance the neural representation of individual letters in early visual cortex
Visual context facilitates perception, but how this is neurally implemented remains unclear. One example of contextual facilitation is found in reading, where letters are more easily identified when embedded in a word.

Physiological Mechanisms Underlying Motion-Induced Blindness [PDF]
Visual disappearance illusions - such as motion-induced blindness (MIB) - are commonly used to study the neural underpinnings of visual perception. In such illusions a salient visual target becomes perceptually invisible.
