A key question in systems neuroscience is to identify how sensory stimuli are represented in
neuronal activity, and how the activity of sensory neurons in turn is “read out” by downstream …

Motor and premotor cortices are crucial for the control of movements. However, we still know
little about how these areas contribute to higher-order motor control, such as deciding which …

Integration of social cues to initiate adaptive emotional and behavioral responses is a
fundamental aspect of animal and human behavior. In humans, social communication …

A fundamental question in the investigation of any sensory system is what physical signals
drive its sensory neurons during natural behavior. Surprisingly, in the whisker system, it is …

One of the principal functions of the brain is to control movement and rapidly adapt behavior
to a changing external environment. Over the last decades our ability to monitor activity in …

Perceptual decision-making frequently requires making rapid, reliable choices upon
encountering noisy sensory inputs. To better define the statistical processes underlying …

Tracking head position and orientation in small mammals is crucial for many applications in
the field of behavioral neurophysiology, from the study of spatial navigation to the …

Tracking head's position and orientation of small mammals is crucial in many behavioral
neurophysiology studies. Yet, full reconstruction of the head's pose in 3D is a challenging …

Visualization and tracking of the facial whiskers is critical to many studies of rodent behavior.
High-speed videography is the most robust methodology for characterizing whisker …

Quantitatively assessing behaviour to measure animal behaviour and motor control is
challenging because there is a lack of unobtrusive behavioural models. Some studies have …
