The pervasive role of visuospatial coding
Historically, retinotopic organisation (the spatial mapping of the retina across the cortical surface) was considered the purview of early regions of visual cortex (V1-V4) only and that anterior, more cognitively involved regions abstracted this information away. The contemporary view is quite different. Here, with Advancing technologies and analysis methods, we see that retinotopic information is not simply thrown away by these regions but rather is maintained to the potential benefit of our broader cognition. This maintenance of visuospatial coding extends not only through visual cortex, but is present in parietal, frontal, medial and subcortical structures involved with coordinating-movements, mind-wandering and even memory. In this talk, I will outline some of the key empirical findings from my own work and the work of others that shaped this contemporary perspective.
