Kavli Affiliate: Lee McCuller | Summary:New experiments are being developed without the background of quantum shot noise to look for weak, high-frequency signals using Michelson interferometers. Since shot noise is no longer the dominant noise source with these readout schemes, it is important to accurately model thermal noise to characterize signals and design more sensitive […]
Kavli Affiliate: Patrick Kanold | Authors: Sahar Khosravi, Nikolas A. Francis, Patrick O. Kanold and Behtash Babadi | Summary: Understanding how neuronal populations interact to encode and transform sensory information is a fundamental challenge in computational neuroscience. Most existing studies, however, study neural encoding, behavioral readout, and functional connectivity as disjoint problems. Two-photon calcium imaging […]

McVay, Josh D. Hawk, Andrew Lauziere, William Mohler, Hari Shroff, Damon Clark and Daniel A. Colón-Ramos | Summary: Sensory neurons must extract behaviorally relevant features from dynamic environments while […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jean-Laurent Casanova | Authors: Colin Kim, Maira Gaballa, Danyel Lee, Emmanuelle Jouanguy, Shen-Ying Zhang, Jean-Laurent Casanova and Ahmad Yatim | Summary: The binding of transmembrane (TM) ligands to their cognate TM receptors on neighboring cells governs intercellular adhesion and direct cell–cell communication. However, these interactions are difficult to study in vitro because they […]

Janak | Summary: The past decade has seen tremendous progress in the identification of genes associated with complex neuropsychiatric disorders, including autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and schizophrenia. Expression patterns […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lee McCuller | Summary:We present a bidirectional internal squeezing scheme for gravitational-wave detectors and show that it saturates the lowest known lower bounds on quantum noise from internal optical dissipation. The scheme uses two optical parametric amplification stages inside the signal-extraction cavity that act on intra-cavity fields propagating in opposite directions. Thereby, most […]
Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Takada | Summary:Accurate estimation of the covariance matrix of cosmic shear statistics is essential for cosmological analyses using current and upcoming wide-area weak lensing surveys. In this work, we investigate analytical methods for computing the Gaussian covariance matrix of the cosmic shear two-point correlation function (2PCF), taking into account the effects of […]
