An important difference between brains and deep neural networks is the way they learn. Nervous systems learn online where a stream of noisy data points are presented in a non-independent, identically distributed way. Further, synaptic plasticity in t...
This paper presents a novel sound event detection (SED) system for rare events occurring in an open environment. Wavelet multiresolution analysis (MRA) is used to decompose the input audio clip of 30 seconds into five levels. Wavelet denoising is the...
Mental representations of familiar categories are composed of visual and semantic information. Disentangling the contributions of visual and semantic information in humans is challenging because they are intermixed in mental representations. Deep neu...
BACKGROUND: Reminiscence, a therapy that uses stimulating materials such as old photos and videos to stimulate long-term memory, can improve the emotional well-being and life satisfaction of older adults, including those who are cognitively intact. H...
With the advent of social media in our daily life, we are exposed to a plethora of images, particularly face photographs, every day. Recent behavioural studies have shown that some of these photographs stick in the mind better than others. Previous r...
Many of us interact with voice- or text-based conversational agents daily, but these conversational agents may unintentionally retrieve misinformation from human knowledge databases, confabulate responses on their own, or purposefully spread disinfor...
Animals rely on different decision strategies when faced with ambiguous or uncertain cues. Depending on the context, decisions may be biased towards events that were most frequently experienced in the past, or be more explorative. A particular type o...
Studying the underlying neural mechanisms of cognitive functions of the brain is one of the central questions in modern biology. Moreover, it has significantly impacted the development of novel technologies in artificial intelligence. Spontaneous act...
A long standing challenge in biological and artificial intelligence is to understand how new knowledge can be constructed from known building blocks in a way that is amenable for computation by neuronal circuits. Here we focus on the task of storage ...
Role of memory in the function of biological tissues, organs and organisms remains unexplored with many unanswered questions. In this study, the emergence of associative memory in somatic (non-neural) tissues and its potential relation to tissue func...
