Electrophysiological evidence for independent consolidation of multiple targets.

6 Oct 2008 When observers are asked to identify two targets (T1 and T2) embedded in a rapid serial visual presentation, they frequently fail to identify T2 if it appears 200-500 ms after T1 (attentional blink). The response to T2 is, however, unimpaired if it ... Read more...

Functional assessments of the rodent facial nerve: a synkinesis model.

29 Sep 2008 OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: Rodent whisker movement has been used as a tool, after facial nerve manipulation, to quantify functional recovery. We have recently established a method to study functional correlates of aberrant regeneration of the facial ... Read more...

Attenuation of neural responses in primary visual cortex during the attentional blink.

22 Sep 2008 Information-processing bottlenecks are characteristic of many cognitive and neural systems. One such bottleneck is revealed by tasks in which rapidly successive stimulus events must be reported. Here, observers missed the second of two visual ... Read more...
