Lateral predictive coding (LPC) is a simple theoretical framework to appreciate feature detection in biological neural circuits. Recent theoretical work [Huang et al., Phys.Rev.E 112, 034304 (2025)] h…
We introduce `Goxpyriment', a new open-source software framework for programming behavioral and cognitive experiments using the Go programming language. The library is designed to address some limitat…
Information flow is central to contemporary accounts of cognition, yet its physical basis in living neural matter remains poorly specified. Here, we develop a multiscale resource-theoretical framework…
Speech production requires the rapid coordination of a complex hierarchy of linguistic units, transforming a semantic representation into a precise sequence of articulatory movements. To unravel the n…
Our subjective experience of color is typically described by abstract properties such as hue, saturation, and brightness that do not directly correspond to sensory signals arising from cones in the re…
Hippocampal neurons exhibit precise phase locking to network oscillations, but the computational principle governing this temporal precision is still unclear. Neural information is conveyed jointly by…
Efficient interaction with the visual world requires not only accurate object identification but also precise localization of objects in space. While spatial ("where") processing has traditionally bee…
Modern neuroscience has accumulated extensive evidence on perception, memory, prediction, valuation, and consciousness, yet still lacks an explicit operational architecture capable of integrating thes…
Standard accounts of memory consolidation emphasise the stabilisation of stored representations, but struggle to explain representational drift, semanticisation, or the necessity of offline replay. He…
The Bayesian brain hypothesis has been a leading theory in understanding perceptual decision-making under uncertainty. While extensive psychophysical evidence supports the notion of the brain performi…
Synapses are information efficient in the sense that their natural conductance values convey as many bits per Joule as possible, but efficiency falls rapidly if the conductance is forced to deviate fr…
Schemas -- abstract relational structures that capture the commonalities across experiences -- are thought to underlie humans' and animals' ability to rapidly generalize knowledge, rebind new experien…
Why do neurons encode information the way they do? Normative answers to this question model neural activity as the solution to an optimisation problem; for example, the celebrated efficient coding hyp…
Short-term synaptic plasticity (STP) is often regarded as a presynaptic filter of spikes, independent of postsynaptic activity. Recent experiments, however, indicate an associative STP that depends on…
Human cognition integrates information across nested timescales. While the cortex exhibits hierarchical Temporal Receptive Windows (TRWs), local circuits often display heterogeneous time constants. To…
Standard Spiking Neural Network (SNN) models typically neglect metabolic constraints, treating neurons as energetically unconstrained components. We bridge this gap by implementing a conductance-based…
Most computational accounts of cognitive maps assume that stability is achieved primarily through sensory anchoring, with self-motion contributing to incremental positional updates only. However, biol…
Bayesian inference provides a principled framework for understanding brain function, while neural activity in the brain is inherently spike-based. This paper bridges these two perspectives by designin…
In the last century, most sensorimotor studies of cortical neurons relied on average firing rates. Rate coding is efficient for fast sensorimotor processing that occurs within a few seconds. Much less…
The neural basis of probabilistic computations remains elusive, even amidst growing evidence that humans and other animals track their uncertainty. Recent work has proposed that probabilistic represen…
