Recurrent Pattern Completion Drives the Neocortical Representation of Sensory Inference

Academic Background: Exploring Perceptual Inference and Neural Mechanisms In everyday life, our sensory systems often encounter incomplete or ambiguous information. For instance, when objects are occluded, the brain relies on prior experience and expectations to infer the whole. This inferential ability is not only a core function of the human visu...

Transformation of Neural Coding for Vibrotactile Stimuli Along the Ascending Somatosensory Pathway

Research Background The neural transduction mechanisms of tactile vibration coding have been a hot topic in neuroscience research. In daily life, we acquire information about the external environment through the perception of vibrations, such as phone vibration alerts or car proximity warnings. In mammals, high-frequency vibration perception is mai...
