A recurrent network model of planning explains hippocampal replay and human behavior

Posted by klaurent UCSD / Salk

Kavli Affiliate: Marcelo Mattar | Authors: Kristopher T. Jensen, Guillaume Hennequin and Marcelo G. Mattar | Summary: When interacting with complex environments, humans can rapidly adapt their behavior to changes in task or context. To facilitate this adaptation, we often spend substantial periods of time contemplating possible futures before acting. For such planning to be […]

Widespread Receptive Field Remapping in Early Visual Cortex

Posted by klaurent Yale

Kavli Affiliate: Anirvan Nandy | Authors: Sachira Denagamage, Mitchell P Morton and Anirvan Nandy | Summary: Our eyes are in constant motion, yet we perceive the visual world as being stable. Predictive remapping of receptive fields is thought to be one of the critical mechanisms for enforcing perceptual stability during eye movements. While receptive field […]
