To rapidly process temporal information at a low metabolic cost, biological neurons integrate inputs as an analog sum, but communicate with spikes, binary events in time. Analog neuromorphic hardware uses the same principles to emulate spiking neural...

Inferotemporal (IT) cortex in humans and other primates is topographically organized, containing multiple hierarchically organized areas selective for particular domains, such as faces and scenes. This organization is commonly viewed in terms of evol...
Deep-brain microscopy is strongly limited by the size of the imaging probe, both in terms of achievable resolution and potential trauma due to surgery. Here, we show that a segment of an ultra-thin multi-mode fiber (cannula) can replace the bulky mic...

BACKGROUND: Neurons have specialized structures that facilitate information transfer using electrical and chemical signals. Within the perspective of neural computation, the neuronal structure is an important prerequisite for the versatile computatio...
Feature-product networks (FP-nets) are inspired by end-stopped cortical cells with FP-units that multiply the outputs of two filters. We enhance state-of-the-art deep networks, such as the ResNet and MobileNet, with FP-units and show that the resulti...

Perhaps the most recognizable sensory map in all of neuroscience is the somatosensory homunculus. Although it seems straightforward, this simple representation belies the complex link between an activation in a somatotopic map and the associated touc...

We describe the locomotion of Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) using nonlinear dynamics. C. elegans is a commonly studied model organism based on ease of maintenance and simple neurological structure. In contrast to traditional microscopic techniq...
In experiments on perceptual decision making, individuals learn a categorization task through trial-and-error protocols. We explore the capacity of a decision-making attractor network to learn a categorization task through reward-based, Hebbian-type ...
The capacity of neural tissue to discriminiate the sensory signals determines how we recognise the world diversity. Dissociated cortical culture (DCC) homed in a multielectrode array allows mimicking neural networks of the brain and using it for inve...
In biological neural circuits as well as in bio-inspired information processing systems, trajectories in high-dimensional state-space encode the solutions to computational tasks performed by complex dynamical systems. Due to the high state-space dime...
