As early as primary visual cortex, V1, neural activities are associated with target boosting and distractor suppression in guided visual search, reports this interesting paper Duecker et al 2025, shorturl.at/jcVN5

Günther Palm will give a thought provoking talk this Friday 11 am German time on " Brain theory, what is it or what should it be?", welcome to join us on site or via zoom , see kyb.tuebingen.mpg.de/events/42221/2… , easier to join in the discussion if you join physically.

I am preparing and looking forward to speak on "What does primary visual cortex (V1) do?" tomorrow (Thursday) 6 pm on this student organized event, event link here forms.gle/dGZ5XJ7GHGHJGp…

It is particularly nice that the expected audience members have already sent me questions for the speech, so my speech preparation is now trying to address the questions

10 years ago, in May 2015, we published the first working very deep gradient-based feedforward neural networks (FNNs) with hundreds of layers (previous FNNs had a maximum of a few dozen layers). To overcome the vanishing gradient problem, our Highway Networks used the residual

A great program for Systems Vision Science symposium, Aug. 20-22, shorturl.at/S3dxs welcome to participate by registering until we reach capacity (100 people), We have: Tadashi Isa, David Brainard, Peter Dayan, Sheng He, Jonathan Victor, Jan Koenderink, Andrea von Doorn,

"What does primary visual cortex (V1) do?" -- youtu.be/y0HFXKK72dg -- by the Student Network for Neuroscience. Half a century ago, Hubel & Wiesel discovered how V1 maps visual inputs to neural responses, this video addresses what V1 neural activities do for behavior. It is

Curious: Human and artificial visual systems share a computational principle for transforming binocular disparity into depth representation nature.com/articles/s4200…

Interesting! Although individuals with aphantasia lack visual imagery experience, their early visual cortex exhibits content-specific activation patterns during imagery attempts. cell.com/current-biolog… perhaps due to top-down feedback?
