Geometric deformation and redshift structure caused by plane gravitational waves

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Ke Wang, Chao-Jun Feng, , , | Summary: The curved spacetime induced by gravitational waves can give rise to visual effects such as geometric distortions and redshift structures in the observed image. By establishing a mapping from the object’s surface coordinates to the observer’s screen coordinates, we […]

Ultra-high density electrodes improve detection, yield, and cell type identification in neuronal recordings

Kavli Affiliate: Xiaoqin Wang | Authors: Liam Paninski and Nathaniel Sawtell | Summary: To understand the neural basis of behavior, it is essential to sensitively and accurately measure neural activity at single neuron and single spike resolution. Extracellular electrophysiology delivers this, but it has biases in the neurons it detects and it imperfectly resolves their […]

Tonotopic organization of auditory cortex in awake marmosets revealed by multi-modal wide-field optical imaging

Kavli Affiliate: Xiaoqin Wang | Authors: Xindong Song, Yueqi Guo, Chenggang Chen, Jong Hoon Lee and Xiaoqin Wang | Summary: Tonotopic organization of the auditory cortex has been extensively studied in many mammalian species using various methodologies and physiological preparations. Tonotopy mapping in primates, however, is more limited due to constraints such as cortical folding, […]

Searching for Cosmological Collider in the Planck CMB Data

Kavli Affiliate: E. P. S. Shellard | First 5 Authors: Wuhyun Sohn, Dong-Gang Wang, James R. Fergusson, E. P. S. Shellard, | Summary: In this paper, we present the first comprehensive CMB data analysis of cosmological collider physics. New heavy particles during inflation can leave imprints in the primordial correlators which are observable in today’s […]

Data-driven quasiconformal morphodynamic flows

Kavli Affiliate: L. Mahadevan | First 5 Authors: Salem Mosleh, Gary P. T. Choi, L. Mahadevan, , | Summary: Temporal imaging of biological epithelial structures yields shape data at discrete time points, leading to a natural question: how can we reconstruct the most likely path of growth patterns consistent with these discrete observations? We present […]

Sensitivity analysis for publication bias in meta-analysis of sparse data based on exact likelihood

Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Taojun Hu, Yi Zhou, Satoshi Hattori, , | Summary: Meta-analysis is a powerful tool to synthesize findings from multiple studies. The normal-normal random-effects model is widely used to account for between-study heterogeneity. However, meta-analysis of sparse data, which may arise when the event rate is low for […]
