A theory of efficient coding wherein the precision of representations is endogenous, task-dependent, and prior-dependent predicts scaling laws for imprecision and is supported by numerosity perception experiments with humans.
Structural and biochemical analyses identify a bacterial lipoprotein that associates with the outer membrane component of tripartite multi-drug efflux pumps, and its potential functional roles are explored by complementary bioinformatics, proteomcid and genetic approaches.
Identification of each animal in a collective becomes possible even when individuals are never all visible simultaneously, enabling faster and more accurate analysis of collective behavior.
