DESCRIPTION:Dr. Wim Vanduffel\nRepresentations in visual cortex are modula
 ted by extra-retinal signals such as attention and the valence of sensory 
 stimuli. In my lecture I will discuss about retinotopic-specific modulatio
 ns of cortical activity that depend on prediction error\, as shown by mani
 pulations of reward magnitude\, cue-reward probability\, cue-reward famili
 arity\, and dopamine signaling. I will also discuss results of experiments
  that attempt to demonstrate a causal role of the primate ventral midbrain
  in reward-dependent modulations of visual cortical activity.
