Excited to share our #Cosyne2026 workshop "Efficient coding in the modern age" w/ @s-azeglio.bsky.social & Pietro Zamberlan! We'll discuss how the efficient coding framework extends to dynamic and context dependent settings, and how it fails. For more info see shorturl.at/QmN60 See you there!

In many brain areas, neuronal tuning is heterogeneous. But how does this diversity help behavior? We show how tuning diversity shapes representational geometry and boosts coding efficiency for perception in our new preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Variations in neuronal selectivity create efficient representational geometries for perception

Our visual capabilities depend on neural response properties in visual areas of our brains. Neurons exhibit a wide variety of selective response properties, but the reasons for this diversity are unkn...
