Cognitive control signals in visual cortex: flashes meet spotlights.

Abstract/OtherAbstract:
At the intersection of two intensely belabored fields, primary visual cortex (V1) function and neural mechanisms of cognitive control, Jack et al. (in this issue of Neuron) report a neural signal that is neither related to stimulus representation nor spatial attention. Instead, this endogenous signal correlates with task structure and raises new questions.
