This paper introduces a non-equilibrium theory of sensory perception using activity flows in cortical columns, showing that small-number fluctuations are essential for effective representation.

This study examines how the pace of pubertal maturation affects brain organization by linking skeletal age stages to resting-state EEG entropy production.

The paper investigates how visual expertise for synthetic shapes changes cortical representations using fMRI and RSA, finding invariant representations and gradual shifts in representational geometry with experience.

The paper investigates how the brain learns temporal structure from visual stimuli, finding that object shape and predictive temporal context are represented coextensively in ventral occipitotemporal cortex.

The paper simulates the Locus coeruleus network to show that noradrenergic volume release mediates spike-dependent dynamic partitioning through alpha2-receptor interactions.

The paper investigates age and sex-specific developmental trajectories in binocular rivalry, using computational modeling to quantify changes in perceptual stability, sensitivity, and exploration across the lifespan, and reports atypical patterns in autism and borderline personality disorder.

The paper shows that multistable perception, like binocular rivalry, is reproduced by a hierarchical dynamics model that integrates evidence and evaluates alternatives in a volatile environment.
