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 …

Sensory systems continuously mold themselves to the widely varying contexts in which they
must operate. Studies of these adaptations have played a long and central role in vision …

The brain is the perfect place to look for inspiration to develop more efficient neural
networks. The inner workings of our synapses and neurons provide a glimpse at what the …

Responses of sensory neurons differ across repeated measurements. This variability is
usually treated as stochasticity arising within neurons or neural circuits. However, some …

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

How an object is perceived depends on the temporal context in which it is encountered.
Sensory signals in the brain also depend on temporal context, a phenomenon often referred …

To explore how neural circuits represent novel versus familiar inputs, we presented mice
with repeated sets of images with novel images sparsely substituted. Using two-photon …

The efficient coding hypothesis posits that sensory systems maximize information
transmitted to the brain about the environment. We develop a precise and testable form of …

The ability to sustain internal representations of the sensory environment beyond immediate
perception is a fundamental requirement of cognitive processing. In recent years, debates …

Incoming sensory input provides information for the planning and execution of actions,
which yield motor outcomes that are themselves sensory inputs. One dimension where …
