Feature analysis in early vision : evidence from search asymmetries
Anne Treisman,Stephen Gormican +1 more
TL;DR: The results of a series of search experiments are interpreted as evidence that focused attention to single items or to groups is required to reduce background activity when the Weber fraction distinguishing the pooled feature activity with displayscontaining a target and with displays containing only distractors is too small to allow reliable discrimination.
Journal ArticleDOI
A tension-based theory of morphogenesis and compact wiring in the central nervous system.
TL;DR: Many structural features of the mammalian central nervous system can be explained by a morphogenetic mechanism that involves mechanical tension along axons, dendrites and glial processes.

Functional organization of inferior area 6 in the macaque monkey. II. Area F5 and the control of distal movements.
Giacomo Rizzolatti,R. Camarda,Leonardo Fogassi,Maurizio Gentilucci,Giuseppe Luppino,Massimo Matelli +5 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that the different classes of neurons form a vocabulary of motor acts and that this vocabulary can be accessed by somatosensory and visual stimuli.

Visual Neurones Responsive to Faces in the Monkey Temporal Cortex
TL;DR: Findings indicate that explanations in terms of arousal, emotional or motor reactions, simple visual feature sensitivity or receptive fields are insufficient to account for the selective responses to faces and face features observed in this population of STS neurones.

Receptive fields and functional architecture of monkey striate cortex
David H. Hubel,Torsten N. Wiesel +1 more
TL;DR: The striate cortex was studied in lightly anaesthetized macaque and spider monkeys by recording extracellularly from single units and stimulating the retinas with spots or patterns of light, with response properties very similar to those previously described in the cat.

Ferrier Lecture: Functional Architecture of Macaque Monkey Visual Cortex
David H. Hubel,Torsten N. Wiesel +1 more
TL;DR: In most respects the above description fits the newborn monkey just as well as the adult, suggesting that area 17 is largely genetically programmed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Visual properties of neurons in inferotemporal cortex of the Macaque.
TL;DR: There are several lines of evidence suggesting that a possible site for further processing of visual information and perhaps even for storage of such information might, in the monkey, be inferotemporal cortexthe cortex on the inferior convexity of the temporal lobe.
Functional architecture of macaque monkey visual cortex
D. R. Rubel,Torsten N. Wiesel +1 more
TL;DR: By four independent anatomical methods it has been shown that these columns have an ocular dominance column all cells respond preferentially to the same eye, in that cells with common physiological properties are grouped together in vertically organized systems of columns.
