An Attention Mechanism for Deep Q-Networks with Applications in Robotic Pushing

Humans effortlessly solve push tasks in everyday life but unlocking these capabilities remains a research challenge in robotics. Physical models are often inaccurate or unattainable. State-of-the-art data-driven approaches learn to compensate for these ina ...

A data-driven method for reconstructing and modelling social interactions in moving animal groups

Francesco Mondada, Frank Bonnet, Vaios Papaspyros

Group-living organisms that collectively migrate range from cells and bacteria to human crowds, and include swarms of insects, schools of fish, and flocks of birds or ungulates. Unveiling the behavioural and cognitive mechanisms by which these groups coord ...

Combining the Knowledge Appropriation Model and epistemic networks to understand co-creation and adoption of learning designs using log data

Denis Gillet, Maria Jesus Rodriguez Triana

Social practices are well-known mediators in the adoption of educational innovations during professional learning, as postulated by the Knowledge Appropriation Model (KAM). However, understanding how teachers adopt new pedagogical approaches at scale is of ...

Constitutive differences in glucocorticoid responsiveness are related to divergent spatial information processing abilities

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Simone Astori, Eleni Vasilaki, Damien Sébastien Huzard

The stress response facilitates survival through adaptation and is intimately related to cognitive processes. The Morris water maze task probes spatial learning and memory in rodents and glucocorticoids (i.e. corticosterone (CORT) in rats) have been sugges ...

No Evidence for a Common Factor Underlying Visual Abilities in Healthy Older People

Michael Herzog, Aline Françoise Cretenoud, Aaron Michael Clarke

The world's population is aging at an increasing rate. Even in the absence of neurodegenerative disorders, healthy aging affects perception and cognition. In the context of cognition, common factors are well established. Much less is known about common fac ...

Serotonergic Modulation of Walking in Drosophila

Pavan P Ramdya, Chin-Lin Chen

To navigate complex environments, animals must generate highly robust, yet flexible, locomotor behaviors. For example, walking speed must be tailored to the needs of a particular environment. Not only must animals choose the correct speed and gait, they mu ...

Response Adaptation in Barrel Cortical Neurons Facilitates Stimulus Detection during Rhythmic Whisker Stimulation in Anesthetized Mice

Natali Barros Zulaica

Rodents use rhythmic whisker movements at frequencies between 4 and 12 Hz to sense the environment that will be disturbed when the animal touches an object. The aim of this work is to study the response adaptation to rhythmic whisker stimulation trains at ...

A generalised framework for detailed classification of swimming paths inside the Morris Water Maze

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Eleni Vasilaki

The Morris Water Maze is commonly used in behavioural neuroscience for the study of spatial learning with rodents. Over the years, various methods of analysing rodent data collected during this task have been proposed. These methods span from classical per ...
