Anatomical and Functional Organization of Domain-General Brain Regions
How does complex brain activity organize thought and behaviour? Theoretical proposals have long emphasized that intelligent behaviour must be supported by a flexible control system. Numerous brain imaging studies identified ... -
Somatic salience and sensory precision in persistent depression
Persistent depression is a debilitating health condition with a poor prognosis even in the context of current gold-standard pharmacological and psychological interventions. A better understanding of the mechanisms contributing ... -
Computational models of the human visual cortex: on individual differences and ecologically valid input statistics
Perception relies on cortical processes in response to sensory stimuli. Visual input entering the eyes ascends a cascade of processing steps from the retina to high-level regions of the cortex. Vision science investigates ... -
Recurrent convolutional neural networks as models of biological object recognition
Deep feedforward neural network models of vision dominate in both computational neuroscience and engineering. However, the primate visual system contains abundant recurrent connections. In this thesis, we investigate the ...
