Recently, the generalization behavior of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) is gradually transparent through explanation techniques with the frequency components decomposition. However, the importance of the phase spectrum of the image for…
Patchwork learning arises as a new and challenging data collection paradigm where both samples and features are observed in fragmented subsets. Due to technological limits, measurement expense, or multimodal data integration, such patchwork…
Real-world problems, for example in climate applications, often require causal reasoning on spatially gridded time series data or data with comparable structure. While the underlying system is often believed to behave similarly at different…
Neural oscillations have long been considered important markers of interaction across brain regions, yet identifying coordinated oscillatory activity from high-dimensional multiple-electrode recordings remains challenging. We sought to…

Compositional Explanations is a method for identifying logical formulas of concepts that approximate the neurons' behavior. However, these explanations are linked to the small spectrum of neuron activations (i.e., the highest ones) used to…
Dynamic functional connectivity (dFC) is ubiquitously observed in the brain, but why functional networks should remain dynamic even at rest is unclear. We asked whether temporal reconfiguration becomes advantageous when keeping a functional…

Awareness plays a major role in human cognition and adaptive behaviour, though mechanisms involved remain unknown. Awareness is not an objectively established fact, therefore, despite extensive research, scientists have not been able to…
