Episode 190 -- Maurice Chacron PhD
Thursday, November 1, 2018
\nMaurice Chacron (McGill) talks about optimal coding mechanisms invoked in sensory perception of the electric fish. He discusses his \u201cawake behaving\u201d model, through which he has deciphered that feedback from descending inputs tunes sensory responses through a \u201ctemporal whitening\u201d function which may be conserved across species.
