It is argued that all monocular experiments dealing with visual direction should control for phoria-induced error and correlations between phoria and the pre- to posttest differences were .45 and .77, depending on the number of adaptation trials.

It is demonstrated here that neurons in spatially separate columns can synchronize their oscillatory responses, which has, on average, no phase difference, depends on the spatial separation and the orientation preference of the cells and is influenced by global stimulus properties.

2,721 Citations1989Shintaro Funahashi, Charles J. Bruce +1 more
An oculomotor delayed-response task was used to examine the spatial memory functions of neurons in primate prefrontal cortex and found that inhibitory responses were usually strongest for, or centered about, cue directions roughly opposite those optimal for excitatory responses.
Annals of NeurologyLarge‐scale neurocognitive networks and distributed processing for attention, language, and memory
2,715 Citations1990M‐Marsel Mesulam
According to this model, complex behavior is mapped at the level of multifocal neural systems rather than specific anatomical sites, giving rise to brain‐behavior relationships that are both localized and distributed.
Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesStimulus-specific neuronal oscillations in orientation columns of cat visual cortex.
2,503 Citations1989Charles M. Gray, W. Singer
The results demonstrate that local neuronal populations in the visual cortex engage in stimulus-specific synchronous oscillations resulting from an intracortical mechanism, and may provide a general mechanism by which activity patterns in spatially separate regions of the cortex are temporally coordinated.

Neither the hypothesis postulating hemifield inhibition nor that postulating movement of attention with a constant time can explain the data, but the hypothesis of an attention gradient and that of attention movements with a constants speed are tenable in principle, but they fail to account for the effect of crossing the horizontal and vertical meridians.

Vision ResearchSustained and transient components of focal visual attention

787 Citations1990David Servan‐Schreiber, Harry Printz +1 more
A model of catecholamine effects in a network of neural-like elements is presented, which shows that changes in the responsivity of individual elements do not affect their ability to detect a signal and ignore noise but the same changes in cell responsivity do improve the signal detection performance of the network as a whole.

769 Citations1989Zenon W. Pylyshyn
This paper hypothesizes a resource-limited mechanism, called a FINST, for individuating or indexing visual features, as distinct from encoding their type or location, and examines the possibility that such indexes might be used to bind perceived locations to arguments in motor commands, thereby allowing some forms of perceptual-motor coordination.

261 Citations1982Daniela Zambarbieri, R. Schmid +2 more
The longer latency and the higher percentage of multiple saccade responses in the auditory case were attributed to a more complex central processing, whereas the longer duration and the lower peak velocity of the saccades to auditory targets were attribut to reduced performances of the execution mechanism in the absence of vision.
