🧠New preprint! We identify minimal circuit motifs that generate diverse selectivity to support categorization, comparison, and decision-making. Trained RNNs converge on the same motifs, revealing principles that link connectivity to computation. @mpinb.mpg.de www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Structured connectivity for structured sequential computations
Cortical computations emerge from the coordinated activity of recurrent neural circuits and are often described through population dynamics and neuronal selectivity. However, how the backbone of the c...

New preprint! RNNs solving an interval timing task self-organize near bifurcations, where structured slow transients drive computation. These slow scaffolds predict generalization to unseen intervals and are alone sufficient for timing! @mpinb.mpg.de www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Near-critical slow dynamics enable flexible temporal computations and generalization
Although neural activity often evolves along low-dimensional manifolds, such descriptions do not explain the dynamical mechanisms that generate, constrain, and stabilize computation. Identifying these...
