Bursts generate a non-reducible spike pattern code

Hugo Gabriel Eyherabide, Ariel Rokem, Andreas V. M. Herz +1

At the single-neuron level, precisely timed spikes can either constitute firing-rate codes or spike-pattern codes that utilize the relative timing between consecutive spikes. There…

A supermatrix model for N=6 super Chern-Simons-matter theory

Nadav Drukker, Diego Trancanelli

We construct the Wilson loop operator of N=6 super Chern-Simons-matter which is invariant under half of the supercharges of the theory and is dual to the simplest macroscopic open…
