Neural computation of depth from binocular disparity
(2018-12-01)Stereopsis is a par excellence demonstration of the computational power that neural systems can encapsulate. How is the brain capable of swiftly transforming a stream of binocular two-dimensional signals into a cohesive ... -
Structural and functional brain plasticity for statistical learning
(2018-11-24)Extracting structure from initially incomprehensible streams of events is fundamental to a range of human abilities: from navigating in a new environment to learning a language. These skills rely on our ability to extract ... -
