How can we tell if frogs jump further?

• Samples are often compared by first proposing that they could have come from the same population • Two random samples from the same population are unlikely to be the same • Although not exactly the same, is it probable that two samples have been drawn from the same population? • If the probability they came from the same population is small, then the original proposal is not supported • If it...

Can you tell if tongue movements are real or synthesized?

We have investigated if subjects are aware of what natural tongue movements look like, by showing them animations based on either measurements or rule-based synthesis. The issue is of interest since a previous audiovisual speech perception study recently showed that the word recognition rate in sentences with degraded audio was significantly better with real tongue movements than with synthesiz...

Spike Correlations – What Can They Tell About Synchrony?

Sensory and cognitive processing relies on the concerted activity of large populations of neurons. The advent of modern experimental techniques like two-photon population calcium imaging makes it possible to monitor the spiking activity of multiple neurons as they are participating in specific cognitive tasks. The development of appropriate theoretical tools to quantify and interpret the spikin...
