Show abstract
Theta-band (3-8 Hz) neural oscillations are integral to sensory processing and active exploration. Traditionally associated with higher-order areas such as hippocampus and prefrontal cortex, recent studies identified theta rhythmic modulations in the primary visual cortex (V1) of mice during locomotion, suggesting sensory processing functions. Here, we demonstrate that careful optimization of visual stimulus size and contrast can induce robust theta oscillations in macaque V1. During visual detection, monkeys reaction times fluctuated rhythmically at the theta frequency of V1 neural activity, with detection performance correlated to the theta phase. These findings suggest that induced theta oscillations may reflect an intrinsic temporal filtering mechanism of V1 neurons, highlighting the importance of early sensory cortical dynamics in shaping perceptual timing.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
