Journal ArticleDOI
Neuronal correlates of decision-making in secondary somatosensory cortex
TL;DR: Monkeys trained to compare two mechanical vibrations applied sequentially to the fingertips and to report which of the two had the higher frequency discriminated between two sequential stimuli recorded single neurons in secondary somatosensory cortex while the monkeys performed the task.
Journal ArticleDOI
Timing and Neural Encoding of Somatosensory Parametric Working Memory in Macaque Prefrontal Cortex
TL;DR: Neurons that fire persistently during the delay period are reported, with a firing rate that is a monotonic function of the frequency of the first stimulus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuronal Correlates of a Perceptual Decision in Ventral Premotor Cortex
TL;DR: It is reported that the activity of VPC neurons reflects current and remembered sensory inputs, their comparison, and motor commands expressing the result; that is, the entire processing cascade linking the evaluation of sensory stimuli with a motor report.
Journal ArticleDOI
Periodicity and Firing Rate As Candidate Neural Codes for the Frequency of Vibrotactile Stimuli
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined extracellular recordings from primary (S1) and secondary (S2) cortex of awake monkeys performing a frequency discrimination task, and quantified stimulus-driven modulations in firing rate and spike train periodicity, seeking to determine their relevance for frequency discrimination.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sensing without Touching: Psychophysical Performance Based on Cortical Microstimulation
TL;DR: The results indicate that microstimulation can be used to elicit a memorizable and discriminable analog range of percepts, and shows that activation of the QA circuit of S1 is sufficient to initiate all subsequent neural processes associated with flutter discrimination.
