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