Limitations of pupil diameter as a proxy for modes of locus coeruleus activity

This study shows that pupil diameter is not reliably linked to locus coeruleus activity modes, suggesting caution in using pupil size as a proxy for phasic and tonic LC-NE activity.

Functional localization of visual motion area FST in humans

The paper identifies a human homolog of the macaque visual motion area FST using motion localizers and pRF mapping, showing its distinct functional and structural properties.

Behavioral signatures of Y-like neuronal responses in human vision

The paper evaluates human psychophysical performance with contrast modulation stimuli to investigate nonlinear retinal Y-cell contributions to visual perception.

Parallel processing, hierarchical transformations, and sensorimotor associations along the 'where pathway

The paper investigates parallel processing, hierarchical transformations, and sensorimotor associations along the dorsal where pathway in macaques using a common experimental design.

Optimized but not maximized cue integration for 3D visual perception

The paper investigates 3D visual perception in macaques, finding that cue integration is optimized but not maximized due to neural architecture constraints.

Real-time experimental control using network-based parallel processing

This paper introduces a real-time experimental control framework for neuroscience research that enables high temporal fidelity and modular flexibility.
