A central goal of neuroscience is to understand the representations formed by brain activity
patterns and their connection to behaviour. The classic approach is to investigate how …

Motor control is the study of how organisms make accurate goal-directed movements. Here
we consider two problems that the motor system must solve in order to achieve such control …

Realistic object interactions are crucial for creating immersive virtual experiences, yet
synthesizing realistic 3D object dynamics in response to novel interactions remains a …

Modeling human cognition is challenging because there are infinitely many mechanisms
that can generate any given observation. Some researchers address this by constraining the …

Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by problems with social-
communication, restricted interests and repetitive behavior. A recent and thought-provoking …

Human perceptual decisions are often described as optimal. Critics of this view have argued
that claims of optimality are overly flexible and lack explanatory power. Meanwhile …

Statistical regularities in the environment create prior beliefs that we rely on to optimize our
behavior when sensory information is uncertain. Bayesian theory formalizes how prior …

Sensory responses and behavior are strongly shaped by stimulus history. For example,
perceptual reports are sometimes biased toward previously viewed stimuli (serial …

In this article, we have reviewed the reasons why we (collectively) want to love or leave the
venerable (but perhaps hoary) MSE. We have also reviewed emerging alternative signal …

Quality of experience (QoE) is the perceptual quality of service (QoS) from the users'
perspective. For video service, the relationship between QoE and QoS (such as coding …
