Paolo Papale et al. find that the representation of borders of objects in natural scenes are special in the visual brain. Borders elicit extra activity in area V1. There is an early effect reflecting receptive field tuning and a later, contextual effect.

Proud of our work and my PhD baby. Now out in Science: Pronouns reactivate conceptual representations in human hippocampal neurons. Thanks to @Pieters_Tweet, @MatthewWSelf and the others for this great study! https://t.co/t1mwL2i0l2

Happy to announce the publication of our Nature Communications article on how border-ownership tuning determines the connectivity of feedback projections in visual cortex with @d_jeurissen_
and @Pieters_Tweet : https://t.co/V99VRyPiZQ

"The Focea": a region in mouse visual cortex with enhanced spatial resolution, with a.o. @MatthewWSelf @KirchbergerLisa @SreedeepMukher3 @Pieters_Tweet at the @NIN_knaw. A thread (1/7):

@Pieters_Tweet @MatteoCarandini In addition to more precise feedback, if cells in higher visual areas sample from uniformly sized regions of V1 then they should inherit smaller cellular RFs in the foceal zone, leading to higher resolution vision. Something we're currently investigating.

Ik verwacht een pakketje uit de VS via USPS. Het zit nu al twee weken vast op Schiphol (Your item departed a transfer airport in AMSTERDAM-SCHIPHOL, AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS on July 6, 2018 at 11:04 am.), de USPS code is CJ550449970US. Is er al en '3S' nummer bekend?
