Higher-order statistics

…including nonlinear scales and higher-order statistics, and introduces the Quijote and Backlight simulation programmes. It then addresses the uncertain astrophysical processes that complicate small-scale inference through CAMELS, a framework combining cosmology, galaxy formation and machine learning. DREAMS is presented as a route to predicting dark-matter obs

Inhibitory neurons (I), akin to their excitatory (E) counterparts, adjust synaptic efficacies in response to neural activity. Contrary to the traditional view of inhibition as a purely global activity modulator, recent studies highlighted the importance of specificity in (E/I) wiring and motif structures. These motifs, encompassing mutual and lateral inhibition, take essential functional roles in tuning of receptive fields, learning of representations, predictive coding, and in the regulation of the degrees of freedom of the network’s dynamics (i.e. the network dimensionality).
