The perception of ambiguous steps in relative tone height is predicted by direction-selective cells in the auditory cortex, rather than the brain's represented distance between the tone heights.
The visual information walkers use for path selection during locomotion was revealed by analysis of a three-dimensional numerical representation of the natural terrain.
Computational modeling shows how neural mechanisms for mitigating biological constraints (such as neurons’ limited firing range) may eventually result in complex though predictable irrational behavior.
