Dynamics of ongoing activity: explanation of the large variability in evoked cortical responses

A Arieli, A Sterkin, A Grinvald, AD Aertsen - Science, 1996 - science.org
Evoked activity in the mammalian cortex and the resulting behavioral responses exhibit a
large variability to repeated presentations of the same stimulus. This study examined whether …

[HTML][HTML] ADHD subjects fail to suppress eye blinks and microsaccades while anticipating visual stimuli but recover with medication

M Fried, E Tsitsiashvili, YS Bonneh, A Sterkin… - Vision research, 2014 - Elsevier
Oculomotor behavior and parameters are known to be affected by the allocation of attention
and could potentially be used to investigate attention disorders. We explored the oculomotor …

[HTML][HTML] Training the brain to overcome the effect of aging on the human eye

…, JL Tong, A Zomet, M Lev, O Yehezkel, A Sterkin… - Scientific reports, 2012 - nature.com
Presbyopia, from the Greek for aging eye, is, like death and taxes, inevitable. Presbyopia
causes near vision to degrade with age, affecting virtually everyone over the age of 50. …

Retinotopic axis specificity and selective clustering of feedback projections from V2 to V1 in the owl monkey

A Shmuel, M Korman, A Sterkin, M Harel… - Journal of …, 2005 - Soc Neuroscience
Cortical maps and feedback connections are ubiquitous features of the visual cerebral
cortex. The role of the feedback connections, however, is unclear. This study was aimed at …

[HTML][HTML] Learning to adapt: Dynamics of readaptation to geometrical distortions

O Yehezkel, D Sagi, A Sterkin, M Belkin, U Polat - Vision research, 2010 - Elsevier
The visual system can adapt to optical blur, whereby the adapted image is perceived as
sharp. Here we show that adaptation reduces blur-induced biases in shape perception, with …

[HTML][HTML] Vision improvement in pilots with presbyopia following perceptual learning

A Sterkin, Y Levy, R Pokroy, M Lev, L Levian, R Doron… - Vision research, 2018 - Elsevier
Israeli Air Force (IAF) pilots continue flying combat missions after the symptoms of natural
near-vision deterioration, termed presbyopia, begin to be noticeable. Because modern pilots …

Infrastructure from code: The next generation of cloud lifecycle automation

I Aviv, R Gafni, S Sherman, B Aviv, A Sterkin… - IEEE …, 2022 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We identify 14 fundamental cloud infrastructure procedures (CIPs) applicable to software
development processes on the public cloud and their associated challenges. We then evaluate …

Symmetry operation measures

…, D Avnir, C Dryzun, Z Kizner, A Sterkin - Journal of …, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
We introduce a new mathematical tool for quantifying the symmetry contents of molecular
structures: the Symmetry Operation Measures. In this approach, we measure the minimal …

[HTML][HTML] Spatio-temporal low-level neural networks account for visual masking

U Polat, A Sterkin, O Yehezkel - Advances in Cognitive Psychology, 2007 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
T emporal masking is a paradigm that is widely used to study visual information processing.
When a mask is presented, typically within less than 100 msec before or after the target, the …

[HTML][HTML] The activity in the contralateral primary motor cortex, dorsal premotor and supplementary motor area is modulated by performance gains

R Sosnik, T Flash, A Sterkin, B Hauptmann… - Frontiers in human …, 2014 - frontiersin.org
There is growing experimental evidence that the engagement of different brain areas in a
given motor task may change with practice, although the specific brain activity patterns …
