An analysis of response latencies shows that when an image is presented to the visual system,
neuronal activity is rapidly routed to a large number of visual areas. However, the activity …

A fundamental task of vision is to group the image elements that belong to one object and to
segregate them from other objects and the background. This review provides a conceptual …

Recent studies have revealed a strong relationship between visual working memory and
selective attention, such that attention is biased by what is currently on our mind. However, …

Abstract INFORMATION processing in the cerebral cortex invariably involves the activation
of millions of neurons that are widely distributed over its various areas. These distributed …

Typical natural visual scenes contain many objects, which need to be segregated from each
other and from the background. Present theories subdivide the processes responsible for …

Aims. This paper describes the Heterodyne Instrument for the Far-Infrared (HIFI) that was
launched onboard ESA's Herschel Space Observatory in May 2009. Methods. The instrument …

Cognitive functions rely on the coordinated activity of neurons in many brain regions, but the
interactions between cortical areas are not yet well understood. Here we investigated …

Studies in humans and non-human primates have provided evidence for storage of working
memory contents in multiple regions ranging from sensory to parietal and prefrontal cortex. …

In subjects suffering from early onset strabismus, signals conveyed by the two eyes are not
perceived simultaneously but in alternation. We exploited this phenomenon of interocular …

During aroused states of the brain, electroencephalographic activity is characterized by fast,
irregular fluctuations of low amplitude, which are thought to reflect desynchronization of …
