The paper shows fixational eye movements in marmosets significantly contribute to neuronal variability and enhance spatial information in visual cortex.

OpenIrisDPI is an open-source eye tracker that uses dual Purkinje image tracking to improve gaze estimation accuracy compared to traditional pupil-CR methods.

The paper investigates running-correlated modulations in the peripheral visual cortex of marmosets, finding substantial positive effects in contrast to small suppressive effects in the foveal region.

OpenIris provides an open-source framework for video-based eye-tracking with customizable plugins and high frame rates, addressing limitations in commercial solutions.

This paper introduces a Gaussian process multi-class decoder (GPMD) for neural decoding, achieving state-of-the-art accuracy across species and demonstrating the importance of correlation structure.

This study examines pre-saccadic neural enhancements in marmoset area MT during saccade foraging tasks, finding uniform tuning changes across motion directions, similar to covert attention effects.

This study investigates how neurons in mouse and marmoset V1 respond to gaze shifts, revealing a dynamic sequence of activity linked to visual sampling.

The paper investigates whether spontaneous body movements drive activity in primate visual cortex and finds that such activity is largely explained by retinal image changes caused by movements.

This study shows hierarchical VAEs better model motion perception by aligning with brain function and ecological stimulus statistics.

The paper compares how running affects visual cortex activity in marmosets and mice, finding smaller and suppressive modulations in marmosets compared to mice.

This paper characterizes neural selectivity in free-viewing primates, showing that receptive fields and tuning properties can be recovered from multiple cortical areas using natural behavior and high-precision eye tracking.

The paper shows that synaptic diversity in neurons arises from decoding sensory information from heterogeneous input populations, which is necessary for accurate stimulus decoding.

The paper analyzes neural activity in primate MT cortex during perceptual decision-making and finds that choice-related signals are misaligned with stimulus encoding, suggesting feedback from downstream areas.

This study quantifies motion perception in marmosets and compares it to humans, finding similar speed-accuracy trade-offs but shorter non-decision times in marmosets.

The paper compares discrete stepping and nonlinear ramping dynamics in LIP neuron spiking responses during decision-making and finds that stepping dynamics better describe most neurons, though an extended ramping model accounts for a similar fraction.
