A dynamical systems approach to synaptic consolidation and associations of concepts in hippocampus

In the present work, we approach two key aspects of memory formation: associative memory and synaptic consolidation. The storage of associative memory is commonly related to the medial temporal lobe in humans. Experimental evidence shows that the memories ...

ADAPT21: Adaptability as a 21st century skill

Alexandra Corina Niculescu

All life is problem solving. We are most often faced with situations, in which the information that is needed to solve a problem is not immediately obvious and in which things can change quite rapidly. For instance, imagine the software on your smartphone ...

Contextually Plausible and Diverse 3D Human Motion Prediction

Mathieu Salzmann, Fatemehsadat Saleh

We tackle the task of diverse 3D human motion prediction, that is, forecasting multiple plausible future 3D poses given a sequence of observed 3D poses. In this context, a popular approach consists of using a Conditional Variational Autoencoder (CVAE). How ...

Engram cell connectivity: an evolving substrate for information storage

Maurizio Ferdinando Pezzoli, Siddhartha Sen

Understanding memory requires an explanation for how information can be stored in the brain in a stable state. The change in the brain that accounts for a given memory is referred to as an engram. In recent years, the term engram has been operationalized a ...

Shrinking Bouma's window: How to model crowding in dense displays

Michael Herzog, Gregory Francis, Adrien Christophe Doerig, Alban Bornet

In crowding, perception of a target deteriorates in the presence of nearby flankers. Traditionally, it is thought that visual crowding obeys Bouma's law, i.e., all elements within a certain distance interfere with the target, and that adding more elements ...

Social media and deep learning capture the aesthetic quality of the landscape

Devis Tuia

Peoples’ recreation and well-being are closely related to their aesthetic enjoyment of the landscape. Ecosystem service (ES) assessments record the aesthetic contributions of landscapes to peoples’ well-being in support of sustainable policy goals. However ...

Efficient Learning of a Linear Dynamical System with Stability Guarantees

Daniel Kuhn, Wouter Jongeneel, Tobias Sutter

We propose a principled method for projecting an arbitrary square matrix to the non- convex set of asymptotically stable matrices. Leveraging ideas from large deviations theory, we show that this projection is optimal in an information-theoretic sense and ...

Understanding delayed fluorescence and triplet decays of Protoporphyrin IX under hypoxic conditions

Georges Wagnières

Photosensitizers of singlet oxygen exhibit three main types of reverse intersystem-crossing (RISC): thermally activated, triplet-triplet annihilation, and singlet oxygen feedback. RISC can be followed by delayed fluorescence (DF) emission, which can provid ...

Temporal changes in heavy metal concentration and composition in forest soils of southwestern Germany

The emissions of heavy metals have peaked in the second half of the 20th century in central Europe, and so have their depositions. Moreover, soil properties have changed through acidification, which is expected to impact the mobility and availability of tr ...

Edge turbulence in ISTTOK: a multi-code fluid validation

Paolo Ricci, Davide Galassi, Fabio Riva, Rogério Manuel Cabete De Jesus Jorge, Eric Serre

Fluid models used to study the edge plasma region need to be benchmarked against similar conditions given that models can strongly differ in complexity and therefore the results they produce. Via this validation study undertaken through the framework of EU ...
