Learning, especially rapid learning, is critical for survival. However, learning is hard; a large
number of synaptic weights must be set based on noisy, often ambiguous, sensory …

Fiona Macpherson (2012) argues that various experimental results provide strong evidence
in favor of the cognitive penetration of perceptual color experience. Moreover, she proposes …

The role of motor cortex in non-primate mammals remains unclear. More than a century of
stimulation, anatomical and electrophysiological studies has implicated neural activity in this …

A remarkable demonstration of the flexibility of mammalian motor systems is primates' ability
to learn to control brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). This constitutes a completely novel …

Neuromatch Academy (https://academy. neuromatch. io;(van Viegen et al., 2021)) was designed
as an online summer school to cover the basics of computational neuroscience in three …

Being an exclusively human ability, art cognition occupies a unique position to inform our
knowledge of human cognition. To do so, however, it must be understood in computational …

Random monoallelic expression (MAE) is the phenomenon whereby, in diploid organisms,
one allele of a gene is significantly more expressed than the other, usually by a factor of 10-…

A classical finding of visual cortical responses in anesthetized cat is that they are sensitive
to the temporal context in which a stimulus is presented. Here, we investigate the classic tilt …

One of the most crucial questions at the heart of neuroscience is that of the biological origins
of intelligence. Nervous systems throughout the animal kingdom produce many complex …

Purpose: An important part of clinical research in vision is understanding how visual deficits
affect a patient’s everyday life. Much research has been done on investigating the effect of …
