Mice modulate their rhythmic whisking behaviour when they encounter objects in order to influence the acquired sensory information from the touched surface. However, how the motor commands are selected and what mechanism ...

The hippocampus is essential to our ability to navigate our environment. Rodent research on the underlying hippocampal code has revealed specialized place, grid, and head direction cells. Recent studies showed that humans ...

The brain is constantly inundated with a stream of input from different sensory modalities. Multimodal information has to be integrated or segregated depending on attentional demands and stimulus properties. How does the ...

Visual object recognition is achieved by the brain’s visual ventral stream. For the purpose of mapping the increasingly complex receptive fields along the hierarchically organized ventral pathway, new DNN analysis techniques ...

Neuroimaging techniques reveal the human brain exhibiting a great repertoire of activity patterns—not only while perceiving external stimuli or acting in an experimental paradigm, but also at times of rest. In connectomic ...

In recent years, deep neural networks (DNNs) have come to dominate varied domains in the field of machine learning. Particularly novel are accomplishments in deep reinforcement learning and the successes of DNNs as feature ...

Humans are able to learn from the environment and show a wide range of adaptive behaviors to solve the task at hand. They learn by trial and error. While reinforcement learning allows for artificial agents to learn via ...
