Revealing abrupt transitions from goal-directed to habitual behavior

Kavli Affiliate: Kishore V. Kuchibhotla, Adam S. Charles | Authors: Sharlen Moore, Zyan Wang, Ziyi Zhu, Ruolan Sun, Angel Lee, Adam Charles and Kishore V Kuchibhotla | Summary: A fundamental tenet of animal behavior is that decision-making involves multiple ‘controllers.’ Initially, behavior is goal-directed, driven by desired outcomes, shifting later to habitual control, where cues […]

Mapping general anesthesia states based on electro-encephalogram transition phases

Kavli Affiliate: Jeanne Paz | Authors: Virginie Loison, Yuliya Voskobiynyk, Britta Lindquist, Deanna Necula, Dan Longrois, Jeanne T. Paz and David Holcman | Summary: Cortical electro-encephalography (EEG) has become the clinical reference for monitoring unconsciousness during general anesthesia. The current EEG-based monitors classify general anesthesia states simply as underdosed, adequate, or overdosed, with no transition […]

Design of a Majorana trijunction

Kavli Affiliate: Anton R. Akhmerov | First 5 Authors: Juan Daniel Torres Luna, Sathish R. Kuppuswamy, Anton R. Akhmerov, , | Summary: Braiding of Majorana states demonstrates their non-Abelian exchange statistics. One implementation of braiding requires control of the pairwise couplings between all Majorana states in a trijunction device. To have adiabaticity, a trijunction device […]

Emergence of brain-like mirror-symmetric viewpoint tuning in convolutional neural networks

Kavli Affiliate: Winrich Freiwald | Authors: Amirhossein Farzmahdi, Wilbert Zarco, Winrich Freiwald, Nikolaus Kriegeskorte and Tal Golan | Summary: Primates can recognize objects despite 3D geometric variations such as in-depth rotations. The computational mechanisms that give rise to such invariances are yet to be fully understood. A curious case of partial invariance occurs in the […]

What You Don’t Know Can Hurt You: Use and Abuse of Astrophysical Models in Gravitational-wave Population Analyses

Kavli Affiliate: Salvatore Vitale | First 5 Authors: April Qiu Cheng, Michael Zevin, Salvatore Vitale, , | Summary: One of the goals of gravitational-wave astrophysics is to infer the number and properties of the formation channels of binary black holes (BBHs); to do so, one must be able to connect various models with the data. […]
