When inspecting visual scenes, primates perform on average four saccadic eye movements per second, which implies that scene segmentation, feature binding, and identification of image components is accomplished in 200 ...

Theoretical studies hypothesized that the emergence of a columnar functional organization in the primary visual cortex (Area 17 or V1) could be related to the cortical volume, total cortical neurons or cell density in this ...

During natural vision, primates perform frequent saccadic eye movements, allowing only a narrow time window for processing the visual information at each location. Individual neurons may contribute only with a few spikes ...

Orientation selectivity is ubiquitous in the primary visual cortex (V1) of mammals. In cats and monkeys, V1 displays spatially ordered maps of orientation preference. Instead, in mice, squirrels, and rats, orientation ...

Gamma oscillations (30 to 90 Hz) has been implicated in cognitive processes such as visual binding (Singer, 1999; Uhlhaas et al., 2009) and attention (Fries, 2001; Gregoriou et al. Pesaran et al., 2002; Montgomery and ...
