🚨🚨🚨NEW PREPRINT🚨🚨🚨
A big mystery in brain research is what are the neural mechanisms that drive individual differences in higher order cognitive processes. Here we present a new theoretical and experimental framework, in collaboration with Vincent Tang, Mikio Aoi, Jonathan Pillow, Valerio Mante, @SussilloDavid and Carlos Brody.

This is really exciting. Congratulations!
Here we've been talking a lot about complex dynamical systems, and I have so many questions.
First one: Over on the bird site, @SussilloDavid wrote, "Hell, I’ll go bigger. This work provides strong indirect evidence for the computation thru dynamics framework."
Can you please unpack that just a bit more @SussilloDavid ?

@neuralengine @kordinglab @NicoleCRust @marinopagan @SussilloDavid @PessoaBrain @DrYohanJohn @manlius @cogneurophys @complexsystems We found evidence that individuality in odor-choice assays can arise in the sensory periphery https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.12.24.474127
We think of it as differences in odor-coding rather than dynamics, but I suppose some brief integration is needed to realize small individual differences in firing rates.
