This study investigates how electrical stimulation affects neuronal network dynamics, showing state-dependent suppression of beta oscillations and frequency-specific responses.

This paper develops a decision-theoretic model of perceptual multistability using POMDPs to explain binocular rivalry dynamics and reward-based perceptual switching.

This study shows that neural networks optimized for efficient coding exhibit criticality signatures near optimal noise levels, linking efficient coding and criticality theories.

The paper investigates how prefrontal cortical states influence conscious perception by analyzing neural activity during binocular rivalry.

This paper introduces GPLA to reduce the dimensionality of spike-field coupling data and demonstrates its utility in linking neural activity to biophysical circuit properties.

Prefrontal ensemble spiking in macaques during no-report binocular rivalry carries the currently perceived stimulus, decoded about as accurately as when the same stimuli were shown without competition.

The paper shows non-monotonic spatial correlation structures in prefrontal cortex neurons during visual stimulation, challenging the idea of uniform spatial decay in cortical connectivity.
