Advances in our understanding of natural image statistics and of gain control within the
retinal circuitry are leading to new insights into the classic problem of retinal light adaptation …

Adaptation is fundamental to life. All organisms adapt over timescales that span from
evolution to generations and lifetimes to moment-by-moment interactions. The nervous …

Recordings of local field potentials (LFPs) reveal that the sensory cortex displays rhythmic
activity and fluctuations over a wide range of frequencies and amplitudes. Yet, the role of this …

An essential priority of visual brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) is to enhance the information
transfer rate (ITR) to achieve high-speed communication. Despite notable progress …

Adaptation is a common principle that recurs throughout the nervous system at all stages of
processing. This principle manifests in a variety of phenomena, from spike frequency …

Thalamic inputs strongly drive neurons in the primary visual cortex, even though these
neurons constitute only~ 5% of the synapses on layer 4 spiny stellate simple cells. We …

Insects find food and mates by navigating odorant plumes that can be highly intermittent,
with intensities and durations that vary rapidly over orders of magnitude. Much is known …

The visual system continually adjusts its sensitivity, or 'adapts', to the conditions of the
immediate environment. Adaptation increases responses when input signals are weak, to …

It has been more than 20 years since Bialek and colleagues published a landmark paper
asking a seemingly innocuous question: what can we extract about the outside world from …

Understanding how populations of neurons encode information is the challenge faced by
researchers in the field of neural coding. Focusing on the many mysteries and marvels of the …
