The pulvinar nucleus of the thalamus is a crucial component of the visual system and plays
significant roles in sensory processing and cognitive integration. The pulvinar's extensive …

Predictive processing theories conceptualize neocortical feedback as conveying
expectations and contextual attention signals derived from internal cortical models, playing …

Although the self has traditionally been viewed as a higher-order mental function by most
theoretical frameworks, recent research advocates a fundamental self hypothesis, viewing …

Specific thalamic nuclei are implicated in healthy aging and age‐related neurodegenerative
diseases. However, few methods are available for robust automated segmentation of …

The paper describes a program which computes the best possible Bayesian model of 3D
space from vision (in bees) or echo location (in bats), at Marrs [1982] Level 2. The model …

Supraspinal mechanisms of pain are increasingly understood to underlie neuropathic ocular
conditions previously thought to be exclusively peripheral in nature. Isolating individual …

It has been proposed that there is a wave excitation in animal brains, whose function is to
represent three-dimensional space around the animal as a working spatial memory. After …

We present an update on the current architecture of the Zoea knowledge-based,
Composable Inductive Programming system. The Zoea compiler is built using a modern …

Neural theories of consciousness face three difficulties:(1) The selection problem: how are
those neurons which cause consciousness selected, from all the other neurons which do …

Animals build Bayesian 3D models of their surroundings, to control their movements. There
is strong selection pressure to make these models as precise as possible, given their sense …
