Rethinking simultaneous suppression in visual cortex via compressive spatiotemporal population receptive fields

The paper investigates simultaneous suppression in visual cortex using fMRI and pRF models, finding that compressive spatiotemporal summation explains suppression rather than compressive spatial summation.

Characterizing spatiotemporal population receptive fields in human visual cortex with fMRI

This paper develops a computational framework to estimate spatiotemporal population receptive fields from fMRI data, finding that a compressive spatiotemporal model better explains responses than a spatial model across visual areas.

Asymmetries around the visual field: From retina to cortex to behavior

The paper quantifies polar angle asymmetries in visual performance and shows that mRGC signals and phototransduction contribute to these differences, but cortical factors also play a role.

A visual encoding model links magnetoencephalography signals to neural synchrony in human cortex

The paper develops a model linking MEG signals to neural synchrony in the human cortex, finding two distinct response types: synchronous and asynchronous.

A Population Receptive Field Model of the Magnetoencephalography Response

This paper introduces a model that uses fMRI-derived population receptive fields to predict MEG responses, showing they explain up to 60% of variance in sensor data.

Cortical Magnification in Human Visual Cortex Parallels Task Performance around the Visual Field

The paper measures cortical magnification in human visual cortex and finds it correlates with visual field task performance and heritability in twins.

Modeling visual performance differences with polar angle: A computational observer approach

The paper develops a computational observer model to investigate how early visual system properties like optics and cone density contribute to polar angle-dependent visual performance differences, finding they cannot fully explain the observed asymmetries.

A non-invasive, quantitative study of broadband spectral responses in human visual cortex

This paper develops a denoising method for MEG to quantify broadband spectral responses in human visual cortex, showing they correlate with spike rates and can be reliably measured non-invasively.
