The paper shows that simple nonlinearities in the visual cortex can explain complex interactions between visual, motor, and cognitive variables through additive input modulation.

The paper shows that decoupling perceptual choices from motor responses reduces choice-history effects in non-human primates.

This study analyzes 59 macaque studies to assess factors influencing choice probability, finding consistent patterns across tasks and regions with exceptions in bistable percepts and area V1.

This study uses retrograde optogenetics in macaques to show that FEF outputs to the superior colliculus are diverse but predominantly motor-related, supporting a visuomotor convergence model.

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 investigates whether sleep enhances visual disparity discrimination and its generalization across the vertical meridian, finding no significant effect of sleep on consolidation of this perceptual skill.

The paper shows that manipulating dynamic deformation patterns can alter perceived cloth stiffness, identifying specific optical flow features that correlate with stiffness perception.

This paper describes a head-free training system for macaques that enables precise eye position measurements during visuomotor tasks without invasive immobilization.

This paper develops a CNN that detects saccades with human-level accuracy, outperforming existing methods and aiding neurophysiological research.

This paper shows that humans and machine learning models use multi-frame motion information to estimate cloth stiffness from videos.

The paper uses pupil size to infer decision confidence in monkeys, supporting an integration-to-bound model of perceptual decision-making.
