Fractional neural sampling as a theory of spatiotemporal probabilistic computations in neural circuits

Dynamics of neural circuits mapping brain functions such as sensory processing and decision making, can be characterized by probabilistic representations and inference. The authors elaborate the role of spatiotemporal neural dynamics for more efficient performance of probabilistic computations.
