A behavior-environment information loop drives sensory navigation
Kevin S. Chen, Matthew P. Leighton, Damon A. Clark +1
As organisms navigate the environment to locate critical resources, their behavioral actions must be tightly coupled to their sensory inputs. Here, we introduce an information-theo…
State-switching navigation strategies in C. elegans are beneficial for chemotaxis
Kevin S. Chen, Andrew M. Leifer, Jonathan W. Pillow
Animals employ different strategies for relating sensory input to behavioral output to navigate sensory environments, but what strategy to use, when to switch and why remain unclea…
Maximum Caliber Infers Effective Coupling and Response from Spiking Networks
Kevin S. Chen, Ying-Jen Yang
The characterization of network and biophysical properties from neural spiking activity is an important goal in neuroscience. A framework that provides unbiased inference on causal…
Olfactory learning alters navigation strategies and behavioral variability in C. elegans
Kevin S. Chen, Anuj K. Sharma, Jonathan W. Pillow +1
Animals adjust their behavioral response to sensory input adaptively depending on past experiences. The flexible brain computation is crucial for survival and is of great interest…
