The neuronal encoding of information in the brain
We describe the results of quantitative information theoretic analyses of neural encoding,
particularly in the primate visual, olfactory, taste, hippocampal, and orbitofrontal cortex. Most …

Facial expressions of emotion are not culturally universal
Since Darwin's seminal works, the universality of facial expressions of emotion has
remained one of the longest standing debates in the biological and social sciences. Briefly …

[HTML][HTML] Dynamic facial expressions of emotion transmit an evolving hierarchy of signals over time
Summary Designed by biological [1, 2] and social [3] evolutionary pressures, facial
expressions of emotion comprise specific facial movements [4–8] to support a near-optimal …

Speech rhythms and multiplexed oscillatory sensory coding in the human brain
Cortical oscillations are likely candidates for segmentation and coding of continuous
speech. Here, we monitored continuous speech processing with magnetoencephalography …

Information capacity and transmission are maximized in balanced cortical networks with neuronal avalanches
The repertoire of neural activity patterns that a cortical network can produce constrains the
ability of the network to transfer and process information. Here, we measured activity …

A statistical framework for neuroimaging data analysis based on mutual information estimated via a gaussian copula
We begin by reviewing the statistical framework of information theory as applicable to
neuroimaging data analysis. A major factor hindering wider adoption of this framework in …

Complementary encoding of spatial information in hippocampal astrocytes
Calcium dynamics into astrocytes influence the activity of nearby neuronal structures.
However, because previous reports show that astrocytic calcium signals largely mirror …
