Resolution of Nested Neuronal Representations Can Be Exponential in the Number of Neurons (PRESS RELEASE in GERMAN))
Collective computation is typically polynomial in the number of computational elements, such as transistors or neurons, whether one considers the storage capacity of a memory device or the number of floating-point operations per second of a CPU. Here we show, however, that the capacity of a computational network to resolve real-valued signals of arbitrary dimensions can be exponential in N, even if the individual elements are noisy and unreliable. Nested, modular codes that achieve such high resolution mirror the properties of grid cells in vertebrates, which underlie spatial navigation. more

Archivist in the sound library - New model for speech and sound recognition (PRESS RELEASE)
People are adept at recognizing sensations such as sounds or smells, even when many stimuli appear simultaneously. But how the association works between the current event and memory is still poorly understood. Scientists at the Bernstein Center and the Ludwig-Maximilians Universität (LMU) München have developed a mathematical model that accurately mimics this process with little computational effort and may explain experimental findings that have so far remained unclear.
