Do retinal ganglion cells project natural scenes to their principal subspace and whiten them?

Reza Abbasi-Asl, Cengiz Pehlevan, Bin Yu +1

Several theories of early sensory processing suggest that it whitens sensory stimuli. Here, we test three key predictions of the whitening theory using recordings from 152 ganglion…

Self-calibrating Neural Networks for Dimensionality Reduction

Yuansi Chen, Cengiz Pehlevan, Dmitri B. Chklovskii

Recently, a novel family of biologically plausible online algorithms for reducing the dimensionality of streaming data has been derived from the similarity matching principle. In t…

Data-driven, interpretable photometric redshifts trained on heterogeneous and unrepresentative data

Boris Leistedt, David W. Hogg

We present a new method for inferring photometric redshifts in deep galaxy and quasar surveys, based on a data driven model of latent spectral energy distributions (SEDs) and a phy…

The role of mergers and halo spin in shaping galaxy morphology

Vicente Rodriguez-Gomez, Laura V. Sales, Shy Genel +10

Mergers and the spin of the dark matter halo are factors traditionally believed to determine the morphology of galaxies within a CDM cosmology. We study this hypothesis by consi…

Beyond Jcrit: a critical curve for suppression of H2-cooling in protogalaxies

J. Wolcott-Green, Z. Haiman, G. L. Bryan

Suppression of H2-cooling in early protogalaxies has important implications for the formation of supermassive black holes seeds, the first generation of stars, and the epoch of rei…
