NMDA-driven dendritic modulation enables multitask representation learning in hierarchical sensory processing pathways

Willem Anna Mark Wybo, Bernd Albert Illing, Matthias Chinyen Tsai, Walter Senn

While sensory representations in the brain depend on context, it remains unclear how such modulations are implemented at the biophysical level, and how processing layers further in the hierarchy can extract useful features for each possible contex-tual sta ...

Human and Machine Learning in Non-Markovian Decision Making

Michael Herzog, Aaron Michael Clarke, Elisa Tartaglia, Silvia Marchesotti, Walter Senn

Humans can learn under a wide variety of feedback conditions. Reinforcement learning (RL), where a series of rewarded decisions must be made, is a particularly important type of learning. Computational and behavioral studies of RL have focused mainly on Ma ...

The response of cortical neurons to in vivo-like input current: theory and experiment

Michele Giugliano, Walter Senn

The study of several aspects of the collective dynamics of interacting neurons can be highly simplified if one assumes that the statistics of the synaptic input is the same for a large population of similarly behaving neurons (mean field approach). In part ...

The response of cortical neurons to in vivo-like input current: theory and experiment: II. Time-varying and spatially distributed inputs

Michele Giugliano, Walter Senn

The response of a population of neurons to time-varying synaptic inputs can show a rich phenomenology, hardly predictable from the dynamical properties of the membrane's inherent time constants. For example, a network of neurons in a state of spontaneous a ...
