Visual learning shapes the processing of complex movement stimuli in the human brain.

2 Nov 2009 Recognition of actions and complex movements is fundamental for social interactions and action understanding. While the relationship between motor expertise and visual recognition of body movements has received a vast amount of interest, the role of ... Read more...

Decoding and reconstructing color from responses in human visual cortex.

2 Nov 2009 How is color represented by spatially distributed patterns of activity in visual cortex? Functional magnetic resonance imaging responses to several stimulus colors were analyzed with multivariate techniques: conventional pattern classification, a ... Read more...

Stimulus-induced and state-dependent sustained gamma activity is tightly coupled to the hemodynamic response in humans.

2 Nov 2009 A prompt behavioral response to a stimulus depends both on the salience of the stimulus as well as the subject's preparedness. Thus, both stimulus properties and cognitive factors, such as attention, may determine the strength of neuronal ... Read more...
