Top-down and bottom-up interactions rely on nested brain oscillations to shape rhythmic visual attention sampling (2025)
Journal Article
Trajkovic, J., Veniero, D., Hanslmayr, S., Palva, S., Cruz, G., Romei, V., & Thut, G. (2025). Top-down and bottom-up interactions rely on nested brain oscillations to shape rhythmic visual attention sampling. PLoS Biology, 23(4), Article e3002688. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio.3002688

Adaptive visual processing is enabled through the dynamic interplay between top-down and bottom-up (feedback/feedforward) information exchange, presumably propagated through brain oscillations. Here, we causally tested for the oscillatory mechanisms... Read More about Top-down and bottom-up interactions rely on nested brain oscillations to shape rhythmic visual attention sampling.
