Mental State Recognition Deficits Linked to Brain Changes in Parkinson's Disease Without Dementia

Francesca Saviola

Recent studies have reported social cognitive deficits, particularly in emotional processing, in Parkinson's disease (PD). However, a comprehensive characterization of these deficits and their underlying neural correlates remains elusive. Therefore, this s ...

The self and the avatar mutual influences in embodied Virtual Reality

Loën Boban

In Virtual Reality (VR), users provided with a virtual body and congruent multi-sensory stimulation usually experience a feeling of embodiment of the virtual body, which can be interpreted as a transfer of bodily self-consciousness toward the avatar's body ...

How Gradient Descent Balances Features: A Dynamical Analysis For Two-Layer Neural Networks

Volkan Cevher, Fanghui Liu, Zhenyu Zhu

This paper investigates the fundamental regression task of learning k neurons (a.k.a. teachers) from Gaussian input, using two-layer ReLU neural networks with width m (a.k.a. students) and m, k = O(1), trained via gradient descent under proper initializati ...

Multiscale Quantification of Hemispheric Asymmetry in Cortical Maps Using Geometric Eigenmodes

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville

Hemispheric asymmetry is a universal property of brain organization with wide implications into brain function and structure, and diseases. This study presents a laterality index for characterizing hemispheric asymmetries that underlie cortical maps using ...

TR(Acking) Individuals Down: Exploring the Effect of Temporal Resolution in Resting-State Functional MRI Fingerprinting

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Enrico Amico, Francesca Saviola

Functional brain fingerprinting has emerged as an influential tool to quantify reliability in neuroimaging studies and to identify cognitive biomarkers in both healthy and clinical populations. Recent studies have revealed that brain fingerprints reside in ...

Feature-based encoding of face identity by single neurons in the human amygdala and hippocampus

Emanuela De Falco

Neurons in the human amygdala and hippocampus are classically thought to encode a person’s identity invariant to visual features. However, it remains largely unknown how visual information from higher visual cortical areas is translated into such a semanti ...

An immersive virtual reality tool for assessing left and right unilateral spatial neglect

Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Roberta Ronchi

The reported rate of the occurrence of unilateral spatial neglect (USN) is highly variable likely due to the lack of validity and low sensitivity of classical tools used to assess it. Virtual reality (VR) assessments try to overcome these limitations by pr ...

Unraveling behavior and cortical signals to guide the development of soft neuroprostheses for auditory restoration and spreading depolarization

Emilie Cornelia Maria Revol

Neuroprostheses have been used clinically for decades, to help restore or preserve brain functions, when pharmaceutical treatments are inefficient. Although great progress in the field has been made over the years to interface with the nervous system, surf ...

Using deep reinforcement learning to investigate stretch feedback during swimming of the lamprey

Auke Ijspeert, Astha Gupta

Animals have to navigate complex environments and perform intricate swimming maneuvers in the real world. To conquer these challenges, animals evolved a variety of motion control strategies. While it is known that many factors contribute to motion control, ...

The mouse motor system contains multiple premotor areas and partially follows human

Valerio Zerbi

While humans are known to have several premotor cortical areas, secondary motor cortex (M2) is often considered to be the only higher -order motor area of the mouse brain and is thought to combine properties of various human premotor cortices. Here, we sho ...

Context selectivity with dynamic availability enables lifelong continual learning

Wulfram Gerstner, Guillaume Emmanuel Fernand Bellec, Martin Louis Lucien Rémy Barry

“You never forget how to ride a bike”, – but how is that possible? The brain is able to learn complex skills, stop the practice for years, learn other skills in between, and still retrieve the original knowledge when necessary. The mechanisms of this capab ...

Driving and suppressing the human language network using large language models

Martin Schrimpf

Transformer models such as GPT generate human-like language and are predictive of human brain responses to language. Here, using functional-MRI-measured brain responses to 1,000 diverse sentences, we first show that a GPT-based encoding model can predict t ...
