Human theta oscillations exhibit task dependence during virtual maze navigation
Article Abstract:
Theta activity takes place in distinct, task-dependent episodes, according to research based on subdural recordings from epileptic patients learning to navigate computer-generated mazes. Theta oscillations take place during spatial navigation. The oscillations are visually striking against a complex background signal. It is probable that theta oscillations are significant in human spatial cognition, as they become more frequent in long mazes and during retrieval.

Motion-induced spatial conflict
Article Abstract:
Research has been conducted on human visual system. The authors have demonstrated that this system has a neural mechanism which resolves the spatial conflict formed by adjacent moving borders possessing the same physical but different perceptual speeds.

Cellular networks underlying human spatial navigation
Article Abstract:
Research has been conducted on human spatial navigation. The authors have demonstrated that the neural code of this navigation is based on the cells responding to landmark views and on the cells responding at specific spatial locations.
