Abstract:
In a recent article, Itthipuripat and colleagues combined psychophysics, neurophysiology, and mathematical modeling to investigate the neural mechanism underlying behavioral benefits of spatial attention (Itthipuripat S, Ester EF, Deering S, Serences JT. J Neurosci 34: 13384–13398, 2014). They found that attention-related effects on behavior as well as neural signals could be better explained by a response gain model than by a noise reduction model or an efficient read-out model. In this Neuro Forum we discuss these results and raise several interesting questions and potential interpretations.
