Abstract: The presence of stimulus-unrelated covariability in neural responses poses a challenge to models of perception and behavior. Here we review advances in theory and experiments that highlight how noise correlations are implicated in perceptual processes.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/2167702617740955
Abstract: An amorphous collection of black and white patches (so-called Mooney images) can be perceived dramatically differently before versus after exposure to the natural source image. Prior experience causes the patches to (re)organize and fit together… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fnint.2018.00039
Abstract: Accurate perceptual inference fundamentally depends upon accurate beliefs about the reliability of sensory data. In this paper, we describe a Bayes optimal and biologically plausible scheme that refines these beliefs through a gradient descent on… read more here.
