Ttile: Wilson Line Networks for Flat Space Holography

Abstract: Several years ago, a technique in AdS/CFT was introduced which relates conformal correlation functions to Wilson networks in the bulk. The question arises whether this tool can be implemented in related models of holography. In my talk I will present the results of my master thesis, where I attempted to generalize the above-mentioned tool to what is so far known about flat space holography.

(ONOS seminar) Unraveling cortical circuits for perceptual decision making

Friday, December 11, 2020 - 16:00
Zoom

OIST Neuroscience Online Seminar (ONOS)

Prof. Seung-Hee Lee, Associate Professor, Sensory Processing Lab, KAIST

Unraveling cortical circuits for perceptual decision making Sensory information is a key environmental cue that makes animals guide their behavior. However, it is still unclear how cortical circuits permit appropriate responses to relevant sensory stimuli while inhibiting others. Here, we unraveled cortical circuits that are important for perceptual decision-making in mice performing Go/No-go tasks. We identified parietal and frontal circuits that show unique properties in integrating sensory information and guide action decisions. I will discuss how these circuits work in concert for animals to perform proper action decisions upon the sensory evidence.
