Eli Brenner "AVA Annual Meeting 2013: Visual and other Factors in the Timing of Interception"
May 8, 2013
In vivo recordings from primary visual cortex reveal that spontaneous background activity can be as complex as activity evoked by visual stimuli. Embedding visually evoked responses in such a stron...

Kathy Mullen "Fall Vision Meeting 2007: Color Processing in the Human LGN and Cortex measured with fMRI"
May 8, 2013
I will report on our results measuring the fMRI BOLD responses of the different cortical areas and the LGN to chromatic and achromatic stimuli. We used an fMRI (4T) experimental protocol that contr...
