Structure in noise: Recurrent connectivity shapes neural variability to balance perceptual and cognitive demands in the human brain
Does neural variability reflect random noise or a feature that benefits adaptive behavior? Using intracranial recordings in humans, Terlau et al. demonstrate that neural variability results from the recurrent connectivity structure along the cortical hierarchy, which supports the spatiotemporal unfolding from perceptual to cognitive processing.

How does the brain sample the #visual environment in space and time? @iraposo.bsky.social &co show that two distinct temporal patterns (rhythmic oscillations & aperiodic timescales) predict attention-guided behavior @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/3ThTKVy
Behavioral timescales increase when multiple locations are sampled. Left: Schematic of task designs. Participants fixated a central cross and were presented with a cue, which indicated the location participants should covertly attend to. After a variable cue-target interval a target appeared in either the cued or non-cued location and participants responded with a button press. In the first task participants only had to sample two locations, while in the second task, participants had to sample four locations. Second left: demeaned, time-resolved RTs as a function of the cue-target interval for one exemplary participant (two locations: red; four locations blue). Second right: power spectrums with different peak frequencies. Right: the autocorrelation function and the respective timescales.
