Biological neuronal networks exhibit hallmark features such as oscillatory dynamics, heterogeneity, modularity, and conduction delays. To investigate which of these features support computations or are epiphenomena, we study recurrent networks of damped harmonic oscillators and endow them with such biological features. Analyses of network dynamics uncovered a novel, powerful computational...
Sensory systems need to achieve a delicate balance between external and internal influences in order to accurately represent relevant information. Dynamic adjustments of the sensory code to these influences have been traditionally categorized depending on their origin and studied separately. Sensory adaptation is a response of a neuron to exogenous changes in stimulus statistics, while...
