Learning the meaning of new stimuli increases the cross-correlated activity of prefrontal neurons

The prefrontal cortex (PF) has a key role in learning rules and generating associations between stimuli and responses also called conditional motor learning. Previous studies in PF have examined conditional motor learning at the single cell level but not the correlation of discharges between neurons at the ensemble level. In the present study, we recorded from two rhesus monkeys in the dorsolateral and the mediolateral parts of the prefrontal cortex to address the role of correlated firing of simultaneously recorded pairs during conditional motor learning.

L’"informazione come scandalo”. Dall’iperrealtà dell’industria dell’informazione alle fake news del sistema mediale ibrido

L’articolo si propone di utilizzare il concetto di iperrealtà – “questo scatenarsi delle cose come se avessero un senso” – coniato da Jean Baudrillard sia per analizzare gli innumerevoli casi di falsi e bufale diffuse nel corso della storia del giornalismo moderno che l’odierna indignazione per l’irruzione delle fake news.

Mutual information of a 3x3 RGB MIMO VLC scheme based on Amplitude Shift Keying

Visible Light Communications (VLC) are a new key in the Internet access as well as, a possible enabler of Internet of Things. This kind of systems can allow, in principle, high data rate by stressing the bandwidth and also the spatial dimension. We deal in this work with a 3×3 VLC system characterized by red, green and blue LEDs at the transmitter and three photodiodes at the receiver. Each photodiode is tuned on a different color. In this paper we analyze the mutual information expression when thermal noise is present and we distinguish two different approaches.
