Automated detection of synapses in serial section transmission electron microscopy image stacks. by Anna Kreshuk, Ullrich Koethe, Elizabeth Pax, Davi D Bock, Fred A Hamprecht

“…The algorithm was validated on a set of 238 synapses in 20 serial 7197×7351 pixel images (4.5×4.5×45 nm resolution) of mouse visual cortex, manually labeled by three independent human annotators and additionally re-verified by an expert neuroscientist. The error rate of the algorithm (12% false negative, 7% false positive detections) is better than state-of-the-art, even though, unlike the state-of-the-art method, our algorithm does not require a prior segmentation of the image volume into cells. …”

Recognizing sights, smells, and sounds with gnostic fields. by Christopher Kanan

“…Almost 50 years ago, the neuroscientist Jerzy Konorski proposed a theoretical model in his final monograph in which competing sets of "gnostic" neurons sitting atop sensory processing hierarchies enabled stimuli to be robustly categorized, despite variations in their presentation. …”

Sensory remapping: a possible therapy option by Wanderson Silva Macedo de Sousa, Matheus Sam do Santos Lemos, Diego Agripino Chagas Silva, Therezza Inácia Martins Gomes Leite, Ana Claúdia de Miranda Adad, Ana Flávia Ferreira Sousa, Gabriela Veiga Macedo e Araújo, Jonatas Paulino da Cunha Monteiro Ribeiro

“…Based on this, a new therapeutic modality is being proposed by neuroscientist Miguel Nicolelis, which is based on the brain-machine interface, that is, using other pathways so that the information can reach the cerebral cortex and thus be consciously processed. …”

Dexter’s Plastic Brain: Mentalizing and Mirroring in Cinematic Empathy by Patricia Pisters

“…Debates in cognitive and affective neuroscience seem to reconfirm these two dominant views on cinematographic engagement: social and cognitive neuroscience demonstrates how we imagine the experience of others in activating the prefrontal and lateral regions of the cortex in projecting a “Theory of Mind.” Affective neuroscientist have demonstrated that the activation of mirror neurons in different parts of the brain, such as the anterior insula, and middle anterior cingulate, effectuate an immediate embodied emotion. …”

Why is real-world visual object recognition hard? by Nicolas Pinto, David D Cox, James J DiCarlo

“…In particular, we show that a simple V1-like model--a neuroscientist's "null" model, which should perform poorly at real-world visual object recognition tasks--outperforms state-of-the-art object recognition systems (biologically inspired and otherwise) on a standard, ostensibly natural image recognition test. …”

Mishaps, errors, and cognitive experiences: On the conceptualization of perceptual illusions by Daniele eZavagno, Olga eDaneyko, Rossana eActis-Grosso

“…Here we consider the macroscopic aspects of such concepts in vision sciences from three classic viewpoints – Ecological, Cognitive, Gestalt approaches – as we see this a starting point to understand in which terms illusions can become a tool in the hand of the neuroscientist. In fact, illusions can be effective tools in studying the brain in reference to perception and also to cognition in a much broader sense. …”

“…A philosopher and a cognitive neuroscientist conversed with Buddhist lama Tilmann Lhündrup Borghardt (TLB) about the unresolved phenomenological concerns and logical questions surrounding “pure” consciousness or minimal phenomenal experience (MPE), a quasi-contentless, non-dual state whose phenomenology of “emptiness” is often described in terms of the phenomenal quality of luminosity that experienced meditators have reported occurs in deep meditative states. …”
