"contextual influences rapidly alter V1 spiking activity in monkeys over distances of several degrees in the visual field, carry information about individual scenes, and resemble those in human V1."

Is there a way to selectively disable the influence of feedback signals from higher visual areas, e.g. by applying properly timed TMS to mask those feedback signals and see what that does to contextual influences?
