Explaining multiple patches of aquatic vegetation through linear stability analysis

Aquatic vegetation is ubiquitous in lowland rivers, and it is typically present in the shape of spatial self-organized patches of biomass. In this work, we mathematically define the threshold conditions for the incipient formation of self-organized vegetat ...

Rituals of art and science to decompart(mentalize) knowledge

Bruno Herbelin

We here explore the potential of rituals in order to more fully comprehend the subjective mechanisms of listening, leading to a broader understanding of phenomenal consciousness (why and how do I know that I am experiencing something?). The originality of ...

Leveraging Spiking Deep Neural Networks to Understand the Neural Mechanisms Underlying Selective Attention

Davide Zambrano

Spatial attention enhances sensory processing of goal-relevant information and improves perceptual sensitivity. Yet, the specific neural mechanisms underlying the effects of spatial attention on performance are still contested. Here, we examine different a ...

Exploring quantum perceptron and quantum neural network structures with a teacher-student scheme

Near-term quantum devices can be used to build quantum machine learning models, such as quantum kernel methods and quantum neural networks (QNN), to perform classification tasks. There have been many proposals on how to use variational quantum circuits as ...

Neural-network quantum states for periodic systems in continuous space

Giuseppe Carleo, Gabriel Maria Pescia

We introduce a family of neural quantum states for the simulation of strongly interacting systems in the presence of spatial periodicity. Our variational state is parametrized in terms of a permutationally invariant part described by the Deep Sets neural-n ...

Precision dynamical mapping using topological data analysis reveals a hub-like transition state at rest

Raphaël Pierre Liégeois

In the absence of external stimuli, neural activity continuously evolves from one configuration to another. Whether these transitions or explorations follow some underlying arrangement or lack a predictable ordered plan remains to be determined. Here, usin ...

Uncovering the neural substrates of communication between the brain and ventral nerve cord in Drosophila melanogaster (italic)

Florian Aymanns

Despite a long history of research in motor control, the exact mechanism of how the brain communicates with the the invertebrate ventral nerve cord (VNC) and the vertebrate spinal cord on a single neuron basis remains largely elusive.Drosophila melanogaste ...

The role of pre-stimulus alpha rhythms in non-retinotopic feature integration

Michael Herzog, David Pascucci, Maëlan Quentin Menétrey

What is the link between spontaneous neuronal oscillations (i.e., non-evoked activity) and perception? Often, the phase or power of alpha activity is proposed to modulate perception. The majority of work has focused on the unecological presentation of sing ...

Agency Deficits in a Human Genetic Model of Schizophrenia: Insights From 22q11DS Patients

Olaf Blanke, Maude Schneider, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Roy Salomon, Oliver Alan Kannape, Mariia Kaliuzhna, Henrique Galvan Debarba

Schizophrenia is a chronic and disabling mental illness characterized by a disordered sense of self. Current theories suggest that deficiencies in the sense of control over one’s actions (Sense of Agency, SoA) may underlie some of the symptoms of schizophr ...

Striatal dopamine explains novelty-induced behavioral dynamics and individual variability in threat prediction

Alexander Mathis, Mackenzie Mathis

Animals both explore and avoid novel objects in the environment, but the neural mechanisms that underlie these behaviors and their dynamics remain uncharacterized. Here, we used multi-point tracking (DeepLabCut) and behavioral segmentation (MoSeq) to chara ...
