Attention! V1 Neurons Lining Up for Inspection

In this issue of Neuron, Roelfsema and Spekreijse report that macaque V1 neuron responses are correlated with target choice in a task requiring monkeys to attentively trace a line to plan a saccade. These results provide evidence that V1 is actively involved in the interpretation of visual stimuli.

Comparing to the traditional photo browsing and displaying work, which all focused on presenting splendid visual effects, Sewing Photos emphasizes on the smooth transition process between photos while taking the photo contents into acc...
