Objective. The optic nerve is a good location for a visual neuroprosthesis. It can be targeted when a subject cannot receive a retinal prosthesis and it is less invasive than a cortical implant. The effectiveness of an electrical neuroprosthesis depends on ...
Sensory stimuli have long been thought to be represented in the brain as activity patterns of specific neuronal assemblies. However, we still know relatively little about the long-term dynamics of sensory representations. Using chronic in vivo calcium imag ...
How a stimulus is processed is at the very heart of all vision research. However, there is only little research about how long the processing of a stimulus lasts. One reason is that visual processing is often explicitly or implicitly thought to be feedforw ...
Magnetic skyrmions are nanometric and non-trivial spin textures with non-zero topological charge. Their robustness against perturbations and the possibility to control them using external stimuli make them ideal candidates for future spintronic application ...
Aptamer-functionalized field-effect transistor (FET) biosensors enable detection of small-molecule targets in complex environments such as tissue and blood. Conventional FET-based platforms suffer from Debye screening in high ionic strength physiological e ...

This article examines the importance of integrating locomotion and cognitive information for achieving dynamic locomotion from a viewpoint combining biology and ecological psychology. We present a mammalian neuromusculoskeletal model from external sensory ...
How do neurons and networks of neurons interact spatially? Here, we overview recent discoveries revealing how spatial dynamics of spiking and postsynaptic activity efficiently expose and explain fundamental brain and brainstem mechanisms behind detection, ...
Here we discuss "hidden variables", which are typically introduced during an experiment as a consequence of the application of two independent variables together to create a stimulus. With increased sophistication in modern chemical biology tools and relat ...

Optic nerve stimulation holds great potential for visual prostheses. Its effectiveness depends on the stimulation protocol, which can be optimized to achieve cortical activation similar to that evoked in response to visual stimuli. To identify a target cor ...

There is a hot debate about the nature of serial dependence (SD), the tendency to judge stimulus features in a given trial as similar to the previous trial. It is often argued that SD reflects a mechanism to stabilize perception, combining features of simi ...
