Shared and diverging neural dynamics underlying false and veridical perception
We often mistake visual noise for meaningful images, which sometimes appear as convincing as veridical percepts. This suggests considerable overlap between the mechanisms that underlie false and veridical perception. Yet, false percepts must arise at least in part from internally generated signals. Here, we apply multivariate analyses to human MEG data to study the overlap between veridical and false perception across two aspects of perceptual inference: discrimination of content (what did I se…

Selenskyj fordert Halbierung der Preisobergrenze für russisches Öl
Der ukrainische Präsident Wolodymyr Selenskyj hat die westlichen Industrieländer aufgefordert, ihre Preisobergrenze für russisches Öl zu halbieren. Diese liegt derzeit bei 60 Dollar pro Barrel. "Jeder unserer Partner weiß, welcher Preisdeckel nötig ist - 30 Dollar (pro Barrel), nicht mehr", sagte Selenskyj in seiner abendlichen Videobotschaft.

Generate Realistic Test Scenes for V2X Communication Systems
Accurately perceiving complex driving environments is essential for ensuring the safe operation of autonomous vehicles. With the tremendous progress in deep learning and communication technologies, cooperative perception with Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) technologies has emerged as a solution to overcome the limitations of single-agent perception systems in perceiving distant objects and occlusions. Despite the considerable advancements, V2X cooperative perception systems require thorough testin…

Putting a crypto insider in charge of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission is like putting a drug lord in charge of the DEA.
Industry insiders shouldn’t be regulators, but this is even worse.
Crypto isn’t even a legitimate industry, just one good at playing the catch-me-if-you-can game with the regulators it’s about to own.

USC professor Allison Marsh writes this delightful short article for IEEE Spectrum about Marvin Minsky and Seymour Papert's British counterparts in Cambridge and how, in their case, a document (the Lighthill Report) precipitated cuts in British AI research funding in ways similar to how funding was temporarily cut in the U.S. following MIT's publishing of Minsky and Papert's "Perceptrons" in 1969.

Wedge Holographic Complexity in Karch-Randall Braneworld
We investigate holographic complexities in the context of wedge holography, focusing specifically on black string geometry in AdS$_3$. The wedge spacetime is bounded by two end-of-the-world (EOW) branes with intrinsic Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati (DGP) gravity. In line with this codimension-two holography, there are three equivalent perspectives: bulk perspective, brane perspective, and boundary perspective. Using both the ''Complexity=Volume'' (CV) and ''Complexity=Action'' (CA) proposals, we analy…
