Subcortical correlates of consciousness with human single neuron recordings
Olaf Blanke, Fosco Bernasconi, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Michael Eric Anthony Pereira
Subcortical brain structures such as the basal ganglia or the thalamus are involved in regulating motor and cognitive behavior. However, their contribution to perceptual consciousness is still unclear, due to the inherent difficulties of recording subcorti ...
2024The hindbrain and cortico-reticular pathway in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis
AIM: To characterise the corticoreticular pathway (CRP) in a case -control cohort of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients using high -resolution slice -accelerated readoutsegmented echo -planar diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to enhance the discri ...
W B Saunders Co Ltd2024Unveiling the complexity of learning and decision-making
Reinforcement learning (RL) is crucial for learning to adapt to new environments. In RL, the prediction error is an important component that compares the expected and actual rewards. Dopamine plays a critical role in encoding these prediction errors. In my ...
EPFL2024Decoding electroencephalographic responses to visual stimuli compatible with electrical stimulation
Silvestro Micera, Simone Romeni, Laura Toni, Fiorenzo Artoni
Electrical stimulation of the visual nervous system could improve the quality of life of patients affected by acquired blindness by restoring some visual sensations, but requires careful optimization of stimulation parameters to produce useful perceptions. ...
Aip Publishing2024Transient brain activity dynamics discriminate levels of consciousness during anesthesia
Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Elvira Pirondini, Ayberk Ozkirli
The awake mammalian brain is functionally organized in terms of large-scale distributed networks that are constantly interacting. Loss of consciousness might disrupt this temporal organization leaving patients unresponsive. We hypothesize that characterizi ...
Nature Portfolio2024Investigating neural resource allocation in the sensorimotor control of extra limbs
The rise of robotic body augmentation brings forth new developments that will transform robotics, human-machine interaction, and wearable electronics. Extra robotic limbs, although building upon restorative technologies, bring their own set of challenges i ...
EPFL2024Temporal aspects of feature integration in vision
To fully comprehend visual perception, we need to necessarily understand its temporal dimension. Our visual environment is highly dynamic, requiring the processing and integration of temporal signals in order to make sense of it. Many processes, such as th ...
EPFL2024Fast adaptation to rule switching using neuronal surprise
In humans and animals, surprise is a physiological reaction to an unexpected event, but how surprise can be linked to plausible models of neuronal activity is an open problem. We propose a self-supervised spiking neural network model where a surprise signa ...
2024Enabling Uncertainty Estimation in Iterative Neural Networks
Pascal Fua, Nikita Durasov, Doruk Oner, Minh Hieu Lê
Turning pass-through network architectures into iterative ones, which use their own output as input, is a well-known approach for boosting performance. In this paper, we argue that such architectures offer an additional benefit: The convergence rate of the ...
