    • What visual information is used for stereoscopic depth displacement discrimination? 

      Nefs, Harold; Harris, Julie (2010) - Journal article
      There are two ways to detect a displacement in stereoscopic depth, namely by monitoring the change in disparity over time (CDOT) or by monitoring the inter-ocular velocity difference (IOVD). Though previous studies have ...

    • Evidence for weak or linear conformity but not for hyper-conformity in an everyday social learning context 

      Claidiere, Nicolas; Bowler, Mark Timothy; Whiten, Andrew (2012-02-20) - Journal article
      Conformity is thought to be an important force in cultural evolution because it has the potential to stabilize cooperation in large groups, potentiate group selection and thus explain uniquely human behaviors. However, the ...

    • Sparse coding 

      Foldiak, P; Endres, D M (2008) - Journal article
      Mammalian brains consist of billions of neurons, each capable of independent electrical activity. Information in the brain is represented by the pattern of activation of this large neural population, forming a neural code. ...

    • Bayesian binning beats approximate alternatives: estimating peri-stimulus time histograms 

      Endres, D M; Oram, M W; Schindelin, J.E.; Foldiak, P (MIT Press, 2008) - Journal article
      The peristimulus time histogram (PSTH) and its more continuous cousin, the spike density function (SDF) are staples in the analytic toolkit of neurophysiologists. The former is usually obtained by binning spike trains, ...
