The artist emerges: Visual art learning alters neural structure and function
How does the brain mediate visual artistic creativity? Here we studied behavioral and neural
changes in drawing and painting students compared to students who did not study art. We …

Network structure and dynamics of the mental workspace
The conscious manipulation of mental representations is central to many creative and uniquely
human abilities. How does the human brain mediate such flexible mental operations? …

Representation of maximally regular textures in human visual cortex
Naturalistic textures with an intermediate degree of statistical regularity can capture key
structural features of natural images ( Freeman and Simoncelli, 2011 ). V2 and later visual areas …

The neural signature of numerosity by separating numerical and continuous magnitude extraction in visual cortex with frequency-tagged EEG
…, M Guillaume, PJ Kohler… - Proceedings of the …, 2020 - National Acad Sciences
The ability to handle approximate quantities, or number sense, has been recurrently linked
to mathematical skills, although the nature of the mechanism allowing to extract numerical …

[HTML][HTML] Unconscious neural processing differs with method used to render stimuli invisible
Visual stimuli can be kept from awareness using various methods. The extent of processing
that a given stimulus receives in the absence of awareness is typically used to make claims …

Dynamics of perceptual decisions about symmetry in visual cortex
Neuroimaging studies have identified multiple extra-striate visual areas that are sensitive to
symmetry in planar images (Kohler et al., 2016; Sasaki et al., 2005). Here, we investigated …

Symmetry processing in the macaque visual cortex
Symmetry is a highly salient feature of the natural world that is perceived by many species.
In humans, the cerebral areas processing symmetry are now well identified from …

[HTML][HTML] Motion-induced position shifts activate early visual cortex
The ability to correctly determine the position of objects in space is a fundamental task of the
visual system. The perceived position of briefly presented static objects can be influenced …
