The sense of smell of female hawkmoths has evolved to find the intense odor of floral nectar sources as well as inconspicuous scents of oviposition sites within a complex olfactory landscape.
Imaging experiments reveal that some brain regions do not distinguish between actions performed using tools and those performed using the hands, while others represent these two types of action separately.
Synaptic diversity in the ear's inner hair cells significantly empowers sound encoding to enable our processing of sounds across a broad range of intensities.
The abstract framework of rate-distortion theory can be realized by a neural population coding model to reproduce key and previously unexplained regularities of human visual working memory.
The novel neural marker for the integration of top-down predictions and bottom-up signals in perception elucidates uncertainty in perceptual inference and provides evidence for the predictive coding account of perception.
The proposed techniques enable researchers to disentangle the statistical features of neural population responses, and rigorously quantify how these features carry information about stimuli and experimental variables.

Model identification of neural encoding is an accessible system for the analysis of neural data that allows identifying and characterizing arbitrary relationships between neural activity and task-related variables such as behavior, stimuli, or internal states.
