Social uncertainty in the digital world

The social world is inherently uncertain. We present a computational framework for thinking about how increasingly popular online environments modulate the social uncertainty we experience, depending on the type of social inferences we make. This framework draws on Bayesian inference, which involves combining multiple informational sources to update our beliefs. Read Full Article (External Site) […]

Neurocomputational mechanisms underlying perception and sentience in the neocortex

The basis for computation in the brain is the quantum threshold of “soliton,” which accompanies the ion changes of the action potential, and the refractory membrane at convergences. Here, we provide a logical explanation from the action potential to a neuronal model of the coding and computation of the retina. We also explain how the […]
