Connectome analysis of a cerebellum-like circuit for sensory prediction Open
Stable and accurate perception involves comparing incoming sensory input with internally- generated predictions 1–3 . A mechanistic understanding of this process has been elusive due to the size and complexity of the relevant brain regions…

A Dense Conformal Electrode Array for High Spatial Resolution Stimulation of Electrosensory Systems Open
Studies of electrosensory systems have led to insights into a number of general issues in biology. However, investigations of these systems have been limited by the inability to precisely control spatial patterns of electrosensory input. I…

Neural readout of a latency code in the active electrosensory system Open
The latency of spikes relative to a stimulus conveys sensory information across modalities. However, in most cases, it remains unclear whether and how such latency codes are utilized by postsynaptic neurons. In the active electrosensory sy…

Spike Train Coactivity Encodes Learned Natural Stimulus Invariances in Songbird Auditory Cortex Open
The capacity for sensory systems to encode relevant information that is invariant to many stimulus changes is central to normal, real-world, cognitive function. This invariance is thought to be reflected in the complex spatiotemporal activ…

A cerebellum-like circuit in the lateral line system of fish cancels mechanosensory input associated with its own movements Open
An animal's own movement exerts a profound impact on sensory input to its nervous system. Peripheral sensory receptors do not distinguish externally generated stimuli from stimuli generated by an animal's own behavior (reafference) -- thou…

Through the looking glass: population dynamics through membrane potentials Open
Relating the collective activities of neural populations to external sensory stimuli or to motor output is essential to understanding how nervous systems support behavior. Equally important is examining these processes in the context of et…
