Sparse Codes for Speech Predict Spectrotemporal Receptive Fields in the Inferior Colliculus
Nicole L. Carlson, Vivienne L. Ming, Michael R. DeWeese
We have developed a sparse mathematical representation of speech that minimizes the number of active model neurons needed to represent typical speech sounds. The model learns sever…
Dead leaves and the dirty ground: low-level image statistics in transmissive and occlusive imaging environments
Joel Zylberberg, David Pfau, Michael Robert DeWeese
The opacity of typical objects in the world results in occlusion --- an important property of natural scenes that makes inference of the full 3-dimensional structure of the world c…
The geometry of thermodynamic control
Patrick R. Zulkowski, David A. Sivak, Gavin E. Crooks +1
A deeper understanding of nonequilibrium phenomena is needed to reveal the principles governing natural and synthetic molecular machines. Recent work has shown that when a thermody…
How shoud prey animals respond to uncertain threats?
Joel Zylberberg, Michael R. DeWeese
A prey animal surveying its environment must decide whether there is a dangerous predator present or not. If there is, it may flee. Flight has an associated cost, so the animal sho…
