Journal ArticleDOI
Bonsai: an event-based framework for processing and controlling data streams
Gonçalo Lopes,Niccolò Bonacchi,João Frazão,Joana P. Neto,Bassam V. Atallah,Sofia Soares,Luís Moreira,Sara Matias,Pavel M. Itskov,Patrícia A. Correia,Roberto E. Medina,Lorenza Calcaterra,Elena Dreosti,Joseph J. Paton,Adam R. Kampff +14 more
TL;DR: Bonsai is described, a modular, high-performance, open-source visual programming framework for the acquisition and online processing of data streams and demonstrated how it allows for the rapid and flexible prototyping of integrated experimental designs in neuroscience.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Scalable Population Code for Time in the Striatum
TL;DR: Recorded striatal neurons in rats found that neurons fired at delays spanning tens of seconds and that this pattern of responding reflected the interaction between time and the animals' ongoing sensorimotor state, suggesting that striatal activity forms a scalable population code for time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Midbrain dopamine neurons control judgment of time
TL;DR: Dopamine neuron activity reflects and can directly control the judgment of time and was found that transient activation or inhibition of dopamine neurons was sufficient to slow down or speed up time estimation, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-yield methods for accurate two-alternative visual psychophysics in head-fixed mice
Christopher P. Burgess,Armin Lak,Nicholas A. Steinmetz,Peter Zatka-Haas,Peter Zatka-Haas,Charu Bai Reddy,Elina A. K. Jacobs,Jennifer F. Linden,Joseph J. Paton,Adam Ranson,Sylvia Schröder,Sofia Soares,Miles J. Wells,Lauren E Wool,Kenneth D. Harris,Matteo Carandini +15 more
TL;DR: High-yield methods for probing mouse visual decisions and their neural basis are introduced, providing a platform to accurately probe mouse vision and its neural basis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Striatal dynamics explain duration judgments
Thiago S. Gouvêa,Tiago Monteiro,Asma Motiwala,Sofia Soares,Christian K. Machens,Joseph J. Paton +5 more
TL;DR: The speed with which striatal population state changes supports the fundamental ability of animals to judge the passage of time, and it is demonstrated that time as encoded by striatal populations ran faster or slower when rats judged a duration as longer or shorter.
