To make flexible decisions, the brain needs to make inferences between events that were not directly experienced together. In sharp-wave ripple (SWR) events, during periods of rest and sleep, spiking ...

Abstract. A generative model can be defined as a model of the latent causes of sensory input that can be used to generate new data samples. By examining em

A new Medical Research Council Centre of Research Excellence (MRC CoRE) aims to develop brain stimulation devices to treat conditions such as Parkinson’s, dementia, stroke and childhood epilepsy.

Synaptic plasticity is the basis of learning and memory, but the link between synaptic changes and neural function remains elusive. Here, we used automated search algorithms to obtain thousands of str...

Our group investigates how cells and circuits in the brain work together to perform computations that support memory. Using a wide range of technical approaches, we investigate how these computations ...

Our congratulations go to Unit D.Phil. student Mufeng Tang for successfully defending his doctoral thesis, entitled “Extending Predictive Coding: Space, Time and Memory”, in his viva voce examination ...

DescriptionThe goal of this workshop is to advance our understanding of the brain's reasoning algorithms, explore effects of brain disorders on these algorithms, and discuss whether computational mode...
