Neuronal correlates of goal-directed sensorimotor transformation in sensory, motor and higher-order cortical areas

An important function of the brain is to interpret incoming sensory information from the outside world to guide adaptive behavior. Understanding how and where sensory information is transformed into motor commands in a context- and learning-dependent manne ...

A Functional Perspective on Information Measures

Amedeo Roberto Esposito

Since the birth of Information Theory, researchers have defined and exploited various information measures, as well as endowed them with operational meanings. Some were born as a "solution to a problem", like Shannon's Entropy and Mutual Information. Other ...

Uncovering the neural encoding of behavior in the adult Drosophila motor system

Chin-Lin Chen

One of the most important goals in neuroscience research has always been to understand how animals control their behavior. However, the long focus on the role of brain neurons in behavioral control might be missing the full story. In fact, brain-wide fluct ...

WikiArtVectors: Style and Color Representations of Artworks for Cultural Analysis via Information Theoretic Measures

With the increase in massive digitized datasets of cultural artefacts, social and cultural scientists have an unprecedented opportunity for the discovery and expansion of cultural theory. The WikiArt dataset is one such example, with over 250,000 high qual ...

Combining Reflexes and External Sensory Information in a Neuromusculoskeletal Model to Control a Quadruped Robot

Auke Ijspeert, Azhar Aulia Saputra

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 ...

Mutual Information Disentangles Interactions from Changing Environments

Daniel Maria Busiello, Giorgio Nicoletti

Real-world systems are characterized by complex interactions of their internal degrees of freedom, while living in ever-changing environments whose net effect is to act as additional couplings. Here, we introduce a paradigmatic interacting model in a switc ...

Restoration of sensory information via bionic hands

Silvestro Micera

This Review discusses non-invasive and invasive technologies for conveying artificial sensory feedback through bionic hands. Individuals who have lost the use of their hands because of amputation or spinal cord injury can use prosthetic hands to restore th ...

Framework to Approximate the Value of Information of Bridge Load Testing for Reserve Capacity Assessment

Ian Smith, Numa Joy Bertola, Marco Proverbio

In developed countries, structural assessment of existing bridges should not be performed using the same conservative models that are used at the design stage. Field measurements of real behavior provide additional information for the inference of previous ...

Statistical Physics Methods for Community Detection

Chun Lam Chan

This thesis is devoted to information-theoretic aspects of community detection. The importance of community detection is due to the massive amount of scientific data today that describes relationships between items from a network, e.g., a social network. I ...
