Spontaneous Eye Blinks Map the Probability of Perceptual Reinterpretation During Visual and Auditory Ambiguity

Abstract Spontaneous eye blinks are modulated around perceptual events. Our previous study, using a visual ambiguous stimulus, indicated that blink probability decreases before a reported perceptual switch. In the current study, we tested our hypothesis that an absence of blinks marks a time in which perceptual switches are facilitated in- and outside the visual domain. […]

Enabling uncertainty estimation in neural networks through weight perturbation for improved Alzheimer’s disease classification

BackgroundThe willingness to trust predictions formulated by automatic algorithms is key in a wide range of domains. However, a vast number of deep architectures are only able to formulate predictions without associated uncertainty.PurposeIn this study, we propose a method to convert a standard neural network into a Bayesian neural network and estimate the variability of […]
