Because the effect is highly selective for the features of the stimulus experienced (for example, grating orientation), the phenomenon has been termed 'stimulus-selective response potentiation' (SRP).

The cerebral cortex receives multiple afferents from the thalamus that segregate by stimulus modality forming cortical maps for each sense. In vision, the primary visual cortex maps the multiple ...

Moreover, even when presented with a task under new, unlearned conditions (for example, when the stimulus learned is in a new location), the examinees who learned the memory flash method performed ...

When compared with auditory stimulus, patients with glaucoma had slower response times to visual stimulus.

This useful study shows that stimuli of a certain size elicit theta oscillations in V1 neurons both in spikes and local field potentials, and monkeys performing a dot detection task on these stimuli ...

Monkey See, Monkey Hear Researchers pinpoint areas in the hearing cortex of the brain of macaques that respond to visual stimuli, providing clues how primates integrate sensory information ...

They found that not only did the neurons activated by the visual stimulus keep more active during subsequent sleep, sleep is vital to their ability to connect the fear memory to the sensory event.

For example, if presented with a sound followed by a visual milliseconds apart and perceived as asynchronous, one is much more likely to report the next audio-visual stimulus pair as synchronous ...

Action real-time strategy video games such as World of Warcraft, Age of Empires, and Total War are played by millions. These games, which can be won through strategic planning, selective attention ...

A skeptic might argue that we sometimes perceive a stimulus without being truly conscious of it, as when, for example, we automatically stop at a red light when driving.

V1 neurons normally show sensitivity to different features of a visual stimulus, such as color or direction of movement. The preprocessed data is transmitted to subsequent areas of the visual cortex.
