Now out in @RSocPublishing Proceedings B! Check out @Gongting_Wang's EEG work on individual differences in scene perception: Scenes that are more typical for individual observers are represented in an enhanced yet more idiosyncratic way. Link:

Hooray! 🥳 @lixiangchen_ successfully defended his PhD. Congratulations Dr. Chen! We're looking forward to hearing about all the great stuff you'll achieve in the future.

Check out @lixiangchen_‘s new preprint! We show that the balance between feedforward gamma and feedback alpha rhythms mediates the perception of spatiotemporal coherence in dynamic natural videos. Work done at @jlugiessen & @FU_Berlin. 🎬🎞️👁️ Link:

In this study, the integration-related alpha activity was observed not only when snippets from the same video were presented, but also when different video snippets from the same basic-level category were presented, highlighting the flexibility of neural integration processes.

Our brain integrates dynamic inputs across the visual field to create coherent visual experiences. Such integration processes have previously been linked to cortical alpha dynamics (Chen et al. Sci Adv, 2023).

Now it's out in @ScienceAdvances https://t.co/cCr7tMMSAx. Using EEG and fMRI data, we found that top-down feedback mediated by cortical alpha dynamics plays a key role in the construction of coherent visual experiences. With Daniel Kaiser and Radek Cichy. @CCNBerlin

We are looking for a new postdoc for Kaiser Lab ( https://t.co/ZqcSt7fJlG). This is a three-year position investigating how brain mechanisms in frontal cortex contribute to the analysis of categorical inputs in visual cortex. Details and application:

Together this demonstrates how the human brain orchestrates coherent visual experience across space: it uses feedback to integrate information from high-level to early visual cortex through a dedicated rhythmic code in the alpha frequency range.

Using an EEG/fMRI fusion analysis to link the spectral representations in the EEG with spatial representations in the fMRI, we demonstrate that alpha-frequency feedback is directly associated with representations in early visual cortex.

Decoding stimuli from fMRI multi-voxel patterns, we found scene-selective cortex aggregates spatiotemporally consistent information across hemifields, suggesting PPA and MPA as likely generators of feedback signals guiding visual integration.

Decoding stimulus information from frequency-specific EEG patterns, we found a shift from representations in feedforward-related gamma activity for spatiotemporally inconsistent videos to representations in feedback-related alpha activity for spatiotemporally consistent videos.

In EEG and fMRI experiments, we experimentally mimicked the spatially distributed nature of visual inputs by presenting short natural videos through two circular apertures right and left of fixation. Critically, we manipulated the spatiotemporal congruency of the videos.
