Does Corticothalamic Feedback Control Cortical Velocity Tuning
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the visual cortex controls the temporal response properties of geniculate relay cells in a way that alters the tuning of cortical cells for speed, and the authors further elaborate the novel hypothesis that the cortex controls via feedback the response of relay cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biology and mathematics: A fruitful merger of two cultures
TL;DR: The great promise of biological science is not its ‘mathematization’ per se, but the creative interaction between experimental biology and what one, in analogy to physics, may simply call theoretical biology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temporal precision and reliability in the velocity regime of a hair-cell sensory system: the mechanosensory lateral line of goldfish, Carassius auratus.
Julie Goulet,J. Leo van Hemmen,Sarah N. Jung,Boris P. Chagnaud,Boris P. Chagnaud,Björn Scholze,Jacob Engelmann +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that SN afferents respond in an extremely precise manner and with high reproducibility across a broad frequency band (10-150 Hz), revealing that an optimal decoder would need to rely extensively on a temporal code.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatiotemporal adaptation through corticothalamic loops: a hypothesis.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors elaborate the hypothesis that the visual cortex controls the spatiotemporal structure of cortical receptive fields via feedback to the lateral geniculate nucleus and present and analyze a model of corticogeniculate loops that implements this control, and exhibit its ability of object segmentation by statistical motion analysis in the visual field.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Biomimetic lateral-line system for underwater vehicles
Jan-Moritz P. Franosch,Stefan Sosnowski,Nader Kuhenuri Chami,Kolja Kuhnlenz,Sandra Hirche,J. Leo van Hemmen +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a biomimetic lateral-line system for underwater object avoidance is described, where a constant current heats thermistors in water flow, and with increasing stream velocity, thermal dissipation and thus voltage increases.
