Vale Michael Kubovy (1940-2025), Professor of Patterns
I don't think I ever met Michael, but have long known his Gestalt perception work. I now discover he did so much more, especially as a pioneer in data analysis. He and I would have agreed on many, many things.

Here's more evidence that estimation is catching on in neuroscience, a beautiful paper in from Silveira et al. (2023) in The Journal of Neuroscience. The paper characterizes local functional circuitry in the inferior colliculus (IC), a key processing station for auditory information (Silveira et al., 2023). The authors show that excitatory neurons in the IC
