The paper shows that expectation leads to center-surround inhibition in orientation space, supported by computational models and neural network experiments.

This paper investigates how visual working memory guides attention through rhythmic oscillations, proposing a Rhythmic-Item-Template hypothesis that reconciles conflicting theories about attentional templates.

The paper develops population-specific brain charts for Chinese individuals, revealing distinct neurodevelopmental patterns compared to Western populations and showing better performance in predicting brain phenotypes.

The paper identifies attention field (AF) as a cognitive-behavioral marker distinguishing internet-addiction from reward, showing AF narrowing in internet-dependents correlates with addiction severity.

The paper shows that bodily rather than brain states influence self-perception during face discrimination tasks, highlighting the role of interoception.

This study investigates how retrospective attention affects visual perception by showing that cues can enhance neural representations independently of explicit report.

This study investigates how color-based attention affects subcortical nuclei, showing it modulates parvocellular activity in the LGN and enhances connectivity between LGN and V1.

The paper demonstrates a category-induced global effect of feature-based attention in human visual areas, showing attention spreads within categories but not across them.

The paper investigates how awareness affects the normalization framework of visual bottom-up attention using a modified Posner paradigm and contrast-response functions.

This study investigates how saliency maps in the human visual system are distributed and influenced by awareness using psychophysics, fMRI, and effective connectivity analysis.
