چکیده
Our electrodes were typically separated by approximately 1-3 millimeters. However, because the electrodes are flexible and can bend, we are not confident of the separation of individual penetrations, and therefore cannot make a strong statement about how correlations varied as a function of distance. We can, however, separately analyze pairs recorded on the same electrodes versus different electrodes. This analysis is shown in Supplemental Figure 1.

Spatial Attention Decorrelates Intrinsic Activity Fluctuations in Macaque Area V4
Attention typically amplifies neuronal responses evoked by task-relevant stimuli while attenuating responses to task-irrelevant distracters. In this context, visual distracters constitute an external source of noise that is diminished to improve attended signal quality. Activity that is internal to the cortex itself, stimulus-independent ongoing correlated fluctuations in firing, might also act...

متن کاملA New Method for Spatial Health Risk Assessment of Pollutants
Background: The area of contaminated lands exposed to the health risk of environmental pollutants is a matter of argument. In this study, a new method was developed to estimate the amount of area that is exposed to higher than normal levels of Cr, Mn, and V. Methods: Overall, 170 soil samples were collected from the upper 10 cm of soil in an arid area in central part of Iran in Semnan Provin...
متن کاملSpatial Attention Modulates Center-Surround Interactions in Macaque Visual Area V4
In natural viewing, a visual stimulus that is the target of attention is generally surrounded by many irrelevant distracters. Stimuli falling in the receptive field surround can influence the neuronal response evoked by a stimulus appearing within the classical receptive field. Such modulation by task-irrelevant distracters may degrade the target-related neuronal signal. We therefore examined w...
متن کاملAttention to both space and feature modulates neuronal responses in macaque area V4.
Attention is the mechanism with which we select specific aspects of our environment for processing. Psychological experiments have shown that attention can be directed to a spatial location or to a particular object. Electrophysiological studies in trained macaque monkeys have found that attention can strengthen the responses of neurons in cortical area V4. Some of these studies have attributed...
