Anatomical and functional characterization of neocortical circuits involved in transforming whisker sensory processing into goal-directed licking

The choice of an action upon perception of an external stimulus, arriving at a sensory organ of an animal, depends on previous experiences and outcomes throughout its life. In the rodent brain, the underlying mechanisms involved in simple sensorimotor tran ...

Context effects on probability estimation

Wei-Hsiang Lin

Many decisions rely on how we evaluate potential outcomes and estimate their corresponding probabilities of occurrence. Outcome evaluation is subjective because it requires consulting internal preferences and is sensitive to context. In contrast, probabili ...

Fostering computational thinking through educational robotics: a model for creative computational problem solving

Francesco Mondada, Alberto Piatti, Christian Giang

Background: Educational robotics (ER) is increasingly used in classrooms to implement activities aimed at fostering the development of students’ computational thinking (CT) skills. Though previous works have proposed different models and frameworks to desc ...

Hardware-conscious Query Processing in GPU-accelerated Analytical Engines

Anastasia Ailamaki, Periklis Chrysogelos, Panagiotis Sioulas

In order to improve their power efficiency and computational capacity, modern servers are adopting hardware accelerators, especially GPUs. Modern analytical DMBS engines have been highly optimized for multi-core multi-CPU query execution, but lack the nece ...

The Unfolding Argument: Why Recurrent Processing Cannot Explain Consciousness

Michael Herzog, Adrien Christophe Doerig, Aaron Schurger

Neuroscientific theories aim to explain paradigm cases of consciousness such as masking, binocular rivalry or the transition from dreamless sleep to wakefulness. The most popular theories are based on computational principles. Recurrent processing is a key ...

From multisensory integration in peripersonal space to bodily self-consciousness: from statistical regularities to statistical inference

Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Jean-Paul Noel

Integrating information across sensory systems is a critical step toward building a cohesive representation of the environment and one's body, and as illustrated by numerous illusions, scaffolds subjective experience of the world and self. In the last year ...

Feeding the human brain model

Sean Lewis Hill

The goal of the Human Brain Project is to develop, during the next decade, an infrastructure capable of simulating a draft human brain model based on available experimental data. One of the key issues is therefore to integrate and make accessible the exper ...

Computational Shifts in Theatrical Space

Andrew James Sempere

This dissertation describes a set of research projects that were conducted between 2012 and 2014 in order to answer the question how do computational ideas alter our understanding of place? Each project was produced in the context of the performing arts an ...

Detecting Cognitive States for Enhancing Driving Experience

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano, Huaijian Zhang, Lucian Andrei Gheorghe, Zahra Khaliliardali

Intelligent cars exploit environmental information to support drivers by providing extra information and assisting complex maneouvers. They can also take into account the internal state of the driver by means of decoding cognition-related brain activity. H ...

Neural mechanisms and computations underlying stress effects on learning and memory

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Gediminas Luksys

Stress has complex effects on memory function that can vary depending on the type of information that is learned and in relation to inter-individual characteristics. Recent work has also shown that stress can switch performance between memory systems, bias ...
