The retina can easily detect whether the eye is too small or too big thanks to the imperfections of the eye optics.

Figuring out how the brain uses information from visual neurons may require new tools. I asked nine experts to weigh in.

Sensory neurons can be influenced by stimuli beyond their receptive field center, yet the mechanisms underlying this surround modulation remain poorly understood. In the retina, many OFF ganglion cell...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), a peer reviewed journal of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) - an authoritative source of high-impact, original research that broadly spans...

Many artificial neural networks (ANNs) trained with ecologically plausible objectives on naturalistic data align with behavior and neural representations in biological systems. Here, we show that this...

CR has developed and implemented several educational programmes, advanced courses and workshops, namely the PhD Programmes, INDP and ICDP.

Sensory adaptation dynamically changes neural responses as a function of previous stimuli, profoundly impacting perception. The response changes induced by adaptation have been characterized in detail...

Spun out of Berkeley/Redwood Center, New Theory is building new foundational models rooted in Geometric Deep Learning that break the scaling laws of transformer-based architectures, paving the way for...

The learning algorithms that produce social behavior are unknown. Here the authors show that artificial fish, modeled via embodied deep neural networks, learn the same social behaviors as real fish, s...

We’re releasing emg2qwerty and emg2pose—two large datasets and benchmarks for sEMG-based typing and pose estimation, as part of the NeurIPS 2024 Datasets and Benchmarks track.

Biological and artificial information processing systems form representations of the world that they can use to categorize, reason, plan, navigate, and make decisions. How can we measure the similarit...

Biological intelligence is inherently adaptive -- animals continually adjust their actions based on environmental feedback. However, creating adaptive artificial intelligence (AI) remains a major chal...

Official YouTube channel of the Symmetry and Geometry in Neural Representations (NeurReps) workshop.

When it comes to assessing intelligence, people have all kinds of tests — the SAT, IQ tests, and so on. There’s controversy over how fairly these tests really measure human intelligence, but at the ve...

Daily neuroscience-related posts on the social-media platform this week have increased more than 400 percent, on average, compared with October.
