Semantic representations in higher sensory cortices form the basis for robust, yet flexible behavior. These representations are acquired over the course of development in an …
How is conscious experience related to material brain processes? A variety of theories aiming to answer this age-old question have emerged from the recent surge in …
In laboratory object recognition tasks based on undistorted photographs, both adult humans and deep neural networks (DNNs) perform close to ceiling. Unlike adults', whose object …
Dreams are one of the most bizarre and least understood states of consciousness. Bridging the gap between brain and phenomenology of (un) conscious experience, we propose the …
One of the most fundamental laws of physics is the principle of least action. Motivated by its predictive power, we introduce a neuronal least-action principle for cortical processing of …
During periods of quiescence, such as sleep, neural activity in many brain circuits resembles that observed during periods of task engagement. However, the precise conditions under …
Brain research has in recent years indisputably entered a new epoch, driven by substantial methodological advances and digitally enabled data integration and modeling at multiple …
Standardized reporting of data is crucial for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) research. While the implementation of first responder systems dispatching volunteers to OHCA is …
Sleep is considered to play an essential role in memory reorganization. Despite its importance, classical theoretical models did not focus on some sleep characteristics. Here …
