ViSoND enhances observation of neurodata by combining visualization and sonification to reveal patterns in behavioral and neural data.

This study investigates how the psychedelic drug DOI affects olfactory search behavior in mice, finding decreased search accuracy, altered movement, and increased sniff rate.

This study investigates the ability to infer respiratory timing and frequency from olfactory bulb local field potentials, finding that while LFPs align with respiratory cycles, precise event recovery is challenging due to variable delays.

The paper shows that the mouse olfactory bulb tracks breathing rhythms and self-location, providing contextual information for olfactory processing.

This study investigates how neurons in mouse and marmoset V1 respond to gaze shifts, revealing a dynamic sequence of activity linked to visual sampling.

This study shows freely-moving mice use sniff-synchronized nose movements to navigate odor gradients, identifying two distinct movement motifs during olfactory search.

The paper shows that odor concentration discrimination is independent of sniff frequency, and a fluid dynamics model explains variability in MT cell responses, enabling sniff-invariant coding.

The paper identifies a subset of mitral/tufted cells in the olfactory bulb that represent odor concentration changes, enhancing temporal contrast and aiding in navigational decisions.
