The paper shows that F5 mirror neurons in macaques poorly match action codes during observation and execution, challenging the motor representation hypothesis of action understanding.

The paper investigates the frame effect on flashed probes, showing it persists across various frame movements and is influenced by attention and perceived motion.

This study investigates the role of FEF neurons in saccade initiation, finding that motor neurons better predict saccades than visuomotor neurons, supporting the variable rate model but highlighting unexpected dependence on afferent input.

This study investigates how reward value and temporal gaps affect express saccades in rhesus macaques, finding that express saccades are insensitive to target value but responsive to salience.
