This paper introduces a live spike sorting system that achieves performance comparable to offline sorting and enables closed-loop interventions in neural recordings.

Ensemble Coding of Hidden Objects in Visual Cortex

The paper shows that ensembles of visual cortical neurons encode information about hidden objects through coordinated activity, even when single neuron firing rates do not.

Dependence of Contextual Modulation in Macaque V1 on Interlaminar Signal Flow

The paper shows that in macaque V1, border ownership modulation depends on interlaminar signal flow, with stronger modulation when feedback/horizontal layers contribute more to input layers.

The paper shows pupil size predicts exploration onset and prefrontal neural changes in rhesus macaques during decision-making.

Intrinsic timescales in the visual cortex change with selective attention and reflect spatial connectivity

The paper measures intrinsic timescales in the visual cortex during attention tasks and finds they change with attention and spatial connectivity.

The paper investigates how On-Off dynamics and selective attention shape spatial patterns of correlated variability in neocortex using columnar recordings and a network model.

Working Memory Gates Visual Input to Primate Prefrontal Neurons

The paper shows that working memory gates visual cortical input to prefrontal neurons in monkeys, enhancing visual input when it matches remembered locations.

Frontotemporal Coordination Predicts Working Memory Performance and its Local Neural Signatures

The paper shows that coordination between prefrontal and temporal cortex, measured by phase-locking of spikes and LFPs, predicts working memory performance and object-selective persistent activity.

Top-down coordination of local cortical state during selective attention

The paper shows that local cortical state coordination during selective attention is retinotopically precise and progresses in a reverse hierarchical manner across brain areas.

This study investigates how reward influences visual processing and choice in monkeys, finding distinct effects on sensitivity to motion and decision-making.

Robust Encoding of Abstract Rules by Distinct Neuronal Populations in Primate Visual Cortex

The paper shows that abstract rules are encoded by neurons in primate visual cortex without sensory input, with rule information strongest in neurons with low visual activity and weak local network coupling.

Laminar Segregation of Sensory Coding and Behavioral Readout in Macaque V4

The paper shows that superficial layers of V4 encode visual stimuli orientation, while deep layers encode behavioral relevance in macaques.
