Homeostatic information transmission as a principle for sensory coding during movement
Jonathan Gant, Wiktor Mlynarski · Bernstein Conference 2024
Recent research in awake, behaving organisms revealed the strong modulatory effects of movement on sensory coding. Surprisingly, these effects are not consistent across species. For example, in rodents and insects locomotion increases the magnitude of visual responses [1-3], while in primates, locomotion has a weak suppressive influence [4]. These differences raise intriguing questions about the computational purpose of such modulations and the generality of the underlying principles of sensory processing. Here, we address these questions from a theoretical perspective. Our approach is groun
