Decoding and perturbing decision states in real time

D Peixoto, JR Verhein, R Kiani, JC Kao, P Nuyujukian… - Nature, 2021 - nature.com
In dynamic environments, subjects often integrate multiple samples of a signal and combine
them to reach a categorical judgment 1 . The process of deliberation can be described by a …

[HTML][HTML] Methylphenidate modulates motor cortical dynamics and behavior

JR Verhein, S Vyas, KV Shenoy - bioRxiv, 2023 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Methylphenidate (MPH, brand: Ritalin) is a common stimulant used both medically and non-medically.
Though typically prescribed for its cognitive effects, MPH also affects movement. …

An emergent population code in primary auditory cortex supports selective attention to spectral and temporal sound features

JD Downer, JR Verhein, BC Rapone… - Journal of …, 2021 - Soc Neuroscience
Textbook descriptions of primary sensory cortex (PSC) revolve around single neurons'
representation of low-dimensional sensory features, such as visual object orientation in primary …

Feature-selective attention adaptively shifts noise correlations in primary auditory cortex

JD Downer, B Rapone, J Verhein… - Journal of …, 2017 - Soc Neuroscience
… We measured AM r tuning , ΔBW r tuning and r noise for each pair in each condition. We
calculated r tuning as the Pearson correlation between the mean spike count of each neuron in …

A heterochromatin domain forms gradually at a new telomere and is dynamic at stable telomeres

J Wang, JR Eisenstatt, J Audry… - … and Cellular Biology, 2018 - Taylor & Francis
Heterochromatin domains play important roles in chromosome biology, organismal
development, and aging, including centromere function, mammalian female X chromosome …

A heterochromatin domain forms gradually at a new telomere and is highly dynamic at stable telomeres

J Wang, JR Eisenstatt, J Audry, K Cornelius… - bioRxiv, 2017 - biorxiv.org
Heterochromatin domains play important roles in chromosome biology, organismal
development and aging. In the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe and metazoans, …

Subnuclear relocalization and silencing of a chromosomal region by an ectopic ribosomal DNA repeat

…, CM Bünner, J Verhein-Hansen… - Proceedings of the …, 2013 - National Acad Sciences
Our research addresses the relationship between subnuclear localization and gene expression
in fission yeast. We observed the relocalization of a heterochromatic region, the mating-…

[HTML][HTML] Accurate step-hold tracking of smoothly varying periodic and aperiodic probability

M Ricci, R Gallistel - Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2017 - Springer
Subjects observing many samples from a Bernoulli distribution are able to perceive an
estimate of the generating parameter. A question of fundamental importance is how the current …

NeuRL: Closed-form Inverse Reinforcement Learning for Neural Decoding

G Kalweit, M Kalweit, M Alyahyay, Z Jaeckel… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2022 - arxiv.org
… The parameters θρ of r(Φ(s),a) are fitted to represent immediate reward r(s, a) and hence the
underlying … In the following, we consider the reward function r : S×A↦→ R to be unknown. …

Latent factors and dynamics in motor cortex and their application to brain–machine interfaces

C Pandarinath, KC Ames, AA Russo… - Journal of …, 2018 - Soc Neuroscience
… A common assumption is that for any given trial, the observed high-dimensional spike
counts n(t) reflect a noisy sample from each neuron's underlying firing rate distribution r(t), a …
