Temporal correlation mechanisms and their role in feature selection: a single-unit study in primate somatosensory cortex.
Studies in vision show that attention enhances the firing rates of cells when it is directed towards their preferred stimulus feature. However, it is unknown whether other sensory systems employ this mechanism to mediate feature selection within their modalities. Moreover, whether feature-based atte...
