Relationship between neural responses and visual grouping in the monkey parietal cortex.

19 Oct 2009 Visual grouping through the binding of multiple discrete elements is an important component of object perception, and neurological studies have shown that the posterior parietal cortex plays a vital role in that process. To study the neural ... Read more...

Neural dynamics of saccadic suppression.

5 Oct 2009 We make fast, ballistic eye movements called saccades more often than our heart beats. Although every saccade causes a large movement of the image of the environment on our retina, we never perceive this motion. This aspect of perceptual stability ... Read more...

Reaching in depth: hand position dominates over binocular eye position in the rostral superior parietal lobule.

14 Sep 2009 Neural activity was recorded in area PE (dorsorostral part of Brodmann's area 5) of the posterior parietal cortex while monkeys performed arm reaching toward memorized targets located at different distances from the body. For any given distance, arm ... Read more...
