Most sensory, cognitive and motor functions depend on the interactions of many neurons. In
recent years, there has been rapid development and increasing use of technologies for …

A decision is a commitment to a proposition or plan of action based on information and
values associated with the possible outcomes. The process operates in a flexible timeframe …

The neural correlates of optimal states for signal detection task performance are largely
unknown. One hypothesis holds that optimal states exhibit tonically depolarized cortical …

Daily experience suggests that we perceive distances near us linearly. However, the actual
geometry of spatial representation in the brain is unknown. Here we report that neurons in …

Recent studies have shown that neuronal representations gradually change over time
despite no changes in the stimulus, environment, or behavior. However, such …

Mounting evidence suggests that during conscious states, the electrodynamics of the cortex
are poised near a critical point or phase transition and that this near-critical behavior …

Summary" Degree of certainty" refers to the subjective belief, prior to feedback, that a
decision is correct. A reliable estimate of certainty is essential for prediction, learning from …

The primate visual system achieves remarkable visual object recognition performance even
in brief presentations, and under changes to object exemplar, geometric transformations …

Computational strategies used by the brain strongly depend on the amount of information
that can be stored in population activity, which in turn strongly depends on the pattern of …

Brains at rest generate dynamical activity that is highly structured in space and time. We
suggest that spontaneous activity, as in rest or dreaming, underlies top-down dynamics of …
