This study investigates how infant visual cortex encodes coarse and fine visual features using fMRI and deep neural networks, finding that V1 matures early while extrastriate cortex shows prolonged coarse-feature bias.

This study finds that deaf adults show retinotopic remapping in the visual system, with increased peripheral and reduced central visual field representations in the lateral geniculate nucleus and primary visual cortex.

The paper investigates binocular combination in the autonomic nervous system using a novel multiprimary system, finding pathway-specific differences in binocular interactions and harmonic components.

This study uses steady-state visually evoked potentials in Drosophila to show that altering GSK3β activity affects neuronal function, with distinct response patterns observed in constitutively active and inactive variants.

The paper identifies distinct behavioural states during a complex task using hidden Markov modelling and links them to neural correlates like occipital alpha power.

This study measures contrast suppression effects across age groups using controlled stimuli, finding no age-related suppression, contradicting previous reports.

The paper investigates the temporal dynamics of normalization reweighting in visual cortex using EEG and MEG, finding suppression increases within 2-5 seconds of stimulus onset and no autism-related differences.

PySilSub is a Python toolbox for silent substitution in photoreception research, enabling selective stimulation of photoreceptor classes using linear algebra and optimization.

This study investigates how the human visual system processes radial frequency patterns, finding global curvature processing emerges in V4 and lateral occipital regions, with stronger representation in the latter.

The paper investigates binocular combination of luminance flicker in cortical and subcortical pathways, finding violations of ocularity invariance and evidence of binocular facilitation.

This study examines the effect of combined dexmedetomidine and isoflurane anaesthesia on visual evoked responses in rats, finding reduced but not fully suppressed responses in the visual cortex.

The paper investigates gain control mechanisms in visual suppression using EEG and Bayesian models, finding contrast gain effects dominate across mask types.

The paper decodes neural responses to motion-in-depth cues using EEG and finds that different cues contribute to decoding at different timepoints.

This study investigates how attention to different visual features modulates neuronal subpopulations in early visual areas using fMRI and psychophysics, finding no feature-specific univariate responses but complex multivariate and connectivity changes.

This paper identifies a shared visual processing dysfunction in Nhe3 mutant Drosophila and autistic humans, suggesting a genetic basis for autism-related sensory alterations.
