Journal ArticleDOI
Visual field maps, population receptive field sizes, and visual field coverage in the human MT+ complex.
TL;DR: Using a novel functional MRI model-based method, two maps are identified-TO-1 and TO-2-and population receptive field (pRF) sizes are measured within these maps, providing a functional segmentation of human motion-sensitive cortex that enables a more complete characterization of processing in humanmotion-selective cortex.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mapping hV4 and ventral occipital cortex: the venous eclipse.
Jonathan Winawer,Hiroshi Horiguchi,Hiroshi Horiguchi,Rory Sayres,Kaoru Amano,Brian A. Wandell +5 more
TL;DR: A model of the TS artifact was created and it was shown that the model predicts the locations of anomalous fMRI responses to simple large-field on-off stimuli and specifically in the region of cortex that distinguishes the two main hV4 models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multivoxel neurofeedback selectively modulates confidence without changing perceptual performance
TL;DR: This work uses the recently developed method of decoded neurofeedback (DecNef) to systematically manipulate multivoxel correlates of confidence in a frontoparietal network and reports that bi-directional changes in confidence do not affect perceptual accuracy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fear reduction without fear through reinforcement of neural activity that bypasses conscious exposure
Ai Koizumi,Kaoru Amano,Aurelio Cortese,Kazuhisa Shibata,Wako Yoshida,Ben Seymour,Mitsuo Kawato,Hakwan Lau +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that fear can be reduced towards CS+s by pairing rewards with the activation patterns in visual cortex representing a CS+, while participants remain unaware of the content and purpose of the procedure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimation of the Timing of Human Visual Perception from Magnetoencephalography
TL;DR: The results suggest that the perceptions for visual stimulus appearances are established in extrastriate areas ∼150–200 ms before subjects manually react to the stimulus.
