Emergence of complex wave patterns in primate cerebral cortex by Townsend, Rory G, Solomon, Selina S, Chen, Spencer C, Pietersen, Alexander N J, Martin, Paul R, Solomon, Samuel G, Gong, Pulin

“…Slow brain rhythms are attributed to near-simultaneous (synchronous) changes in activity in neuron populations in the brain. Because they are slow and…”

Visual Motion Discrimination by Propagating Patterns in Primate Cerebral Cortex by Townsend, Rory G, Solomon, Selina S, Martin, Paul R, Solomon, Samuel G, Gong, Pulin

“…Visual stimuli can evoke waves of neural activity that propagate across the surface of visual cortical areas. The relevance of these waves for visual…”
