New research led by the Cognition and Sensorimotor Integration Lab at the University of Pittsburgh Swanson School of Engineering has uncovered how neurons encode and decode that information and ...

The decoder rat had the same types ... tactile cortex not only its own whiskers, but the encoder rat's whiskers, too. We detected cortical neurons that responded to both sets of whiskers, which ...

Then, the brain encoder learns to align the MEG signals to those image embeddings. Finally, the image decoder creates a ... The artificial neurons in the algorithm tend to be activated similarly ...

The key to addressing these challenges lies in separating the encoder and decoder components of multimodal machine learning models. Modern multimodal models (for speech generation or visual ...

"Understanding how social contexts impact the response properties of neurons provides a good insight into how our cognition and behavior are influenced by those social contexts," said Dr. Taihei ...
