MindTalks: The neurobiology of confidence: from statistics to neurons (Dr. Torben Ott)
Abstract How confident are you? As humans, aware of our subjective sense of confidence, we can readily answer. Knowing your level of confidence helps to optimize both routine decisions such as whether to go back and check if the front door was locked and momentous ones like finding a partner for life. Yet the inherently […]

MindTalks: What the mouse eye tells the brain and how the brain processes this visual message (Dr. Katrin Franke)
Abstract To provide a compact and efficient input to the brain, sensory systems separate the incoming information into parallel feature channels. In the visual system, parallel processing starts in the retina. Here, the image is decomposed into multiple retinal ganglion cell (RGC) types, each selective for a specific set of visual features like motion, contrast […]

MindTalks: From vision to navigation and back (Prof. Dr. Matteo Carandini)
Abstract Vision provides crucial guidance to navigation, and this guidance is a key function of the visual system. The communication between visual system and navigation system, however, appears to operate also in the opposite direction, with navigation strongly influencing vision. We recorded from populations of neurons in mice that navigate virtual environments and found modulation by […]
MindTalks: A reservoir of decision strategies in the mouse frontal cortex (Dr. Zach Mainen)
Abstract A decision is an exclusive commitment to one of several alternative actions. A decision strategy is an algorithm for how to decide: what things to pay attention to and how to process them. For example, some decision strategies are based on direct responses to observable stimuli (‚model free‘) while others require inferences about hidden […]
