Short-lived, high-frequency episodes in the electrical activities of mammalian hippocampus, called ripples, occur during sleep and quiescence, and are linked to memory formation. To which extent they occur during active behaviors outside hippocampus is poorly understood. We detected ripples in visual areas V1 and V4 of macaque monkeys during top-down spatial attention. Ripples occurred at frequencies not dissimilar to rates reported in the hippocampus. Critically, the ripple rate was modulated by attention cued to the receptive field, by stimulus size, and by the size of the attentional focus. Moreover, reaction times were modestly reduced on trials where ripples occurred. Sharp-wave ripples (SWRs) are highly synchronous neuronal activity events. They have been predominantly observed in the hippocampus during offline states such as pause in exploration, slow-wave sleep, and quiescent wakefulness. SWRs have been linked to memory consolidation, spatial navigation, and spatial decision-making. Recently, SWRs have been reported during visual search, a form of remote spatial exploration, in macaque hippocampus. However, the association between SWRs and multiple forms of awake conscious and goal-directed behavior is unknown. We report that ripple activity occurs in macaque visual areas V1 and V4 during focused spatial attention. The occurrence of ripples is modulated by stimulus characteristics, increased by attention toward the receptive field, and by the size of the attentional focus. During attention cued to the receptive field, the monkey’s reaction time in detecting behaviorally relevant events was reduced by ripples. These results show that ripple activity is not limited to hippocampal activity during offline states, rather they occur in the neocortex during active attentive states and vigilance behaviors.
