Topic guide · Perception, attention and action / Methods, evidence and reproducibility
How does attention shape what we notice?
Move from selection and perceptual tasks to competing accounts of attention, measurement and the separate question of awareness.
Topic guide · Language and communication / Perception, attention and action
What does bilingual language control involve?
Examine how a language-use task is controlled while keeping acquisition history and claims of general cognitive benefit distinct.
Topic guide · Perception, attention and action / Cells, circuits and brains
How does the nervous system control movement?
Organise movement questions across motor units, spinal circuits and higher systems.

9: Lateral Geniculate Nucleus (LGN) / Primary Visual Cortex (V1)
Connects retinal and cortical receptive fields with visual population codes. The inspected opening compares centre–surround and orientation-selective responses, then uses the tilt aftereffect to motivate a population-response hypothesis.

Lecture 15: Hearing and Speech
Introduces questions about the functional organisation of human hearing, including speech and music.

Lecture 24: Attention and Awareness
Examines how perceptual processing differs when information is consciously experienced and when it is not.

Lecture 7 - Conscious of the Present; Conscious of the Past: Language (cont.); Vision and Memory
Paul Bloom moves from animal communication and language–thought questions into perception, attention and different kinds of memory.

9. Receptive Fields
Introduces mathematical descriptions of responses to stimuli, including receptive fields, separability and spike-triggered averaging.
MIT OpenCourseWare · Source-checked annotation
Lecture 7: Attention
Introduces visual attention, distraction and classic experimental demonstrations including visual search, object tracking and attentional limits.
MIT OpenCourseWare · Source-checked annotation
23: Olfaction and Gustation
Introduces smell and taste, distinguishing an odorant from the resulting sensation. The inspected opening follows olfactory receptors to bulb/cortical projections, discusses a scent-tracking experiment and connects smell with flavour.

Lecture 8: Navigation I
Examines scene perception and navigation through their functional organisation and associated brain structures.
MIT OpenCourseWare · Source-checked annotation
Lecture 7: Category Selectivity, Controversies, and MVPA
Presents competing interpretations of visual-system organisation alongside multivoxel pattern analysis and the distinction between visual pathways.
MIT OpenCourseWare · Source-checked annotation
14: Motion Perception (cont'd)
Examines how local visual-motion measurements can be combined. The inspected opening reviews delayed-input detectors and the aperture problem, then compares component- and pattern-motion responses using plaid stimuli and V1/MT examples.

19. Neural Integrators
Describes neural integrator models in relation to short-term memory, accumulated decision evidence, eye movements and persistent network activity.

Lecture 16: Music
Examines the functional organisation of music processing in the Human Brain course.
