Songbirds are a well-established animal model to study the neural basis of learning, perception and production of complex vocalizations. In this system, telencephalic neurons in HVC present a state-dependent, highly selective ...

An argument recently proposed by Chirimuuta (2014) seems to motivate the rejection of the claims that every neurocognitive phenomenon can have a mechanistic explanation and that every neurocognitive explanation is mechanistic. ...

In the study of the neural code, information-theoretical methods have the advantage of making no assumptions about the probabilistic mapping between stimuli and responses. In the sensory domain, several methods have been ...

Predictive processing seems like a radical departure from traditional theories of information processing in the brain, but a broader view of predictions highlights many similarities with standard frameworks. Predictive ...

Machine learning and artificial intelligence have strong roots on principles of neural computation. Some examples are the structure of the first perceptron, inspired in the retina, neuroprosthetics based on ganglion cell ...

The consistent and efficient method for the identification of biometrics is the iris recognition in view of the fact that it has richness in texture information. A good number of features performed in the past are built ...
