Consensus Formation and Change are Enhanced by Neutrality
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Neutral agents are shown to enhance both the formation and overturning of consensus in collective decision‐making. A general mathematical model and experiments with locusts and humans reveal that neutrality enables robust consensus via simple interactions and accelerates consensus change by reducing effective population size.

Is QBism the Future of Quantum Physics? [PDF]
, 2017 The purpose of this book is to explain Quantum Bayesianism (‘QBism’) to “people without easy access to mathematical formulas and equations” (4-5). Qbism is an interpretation of quantum mechanics that “doesn’t meddle with the technical aspects of the ...

Bayesian and non-bayesian evidential updating
Artificial Intelligence, 1987 Orthodox probability theory supposes that (1) we commence with known statistical distributions, (2) these distributions give rise to real- valued probabilities, and (3) these probabilities can be updated by the use of Bayes' theorem. Each of these suppositions has been challenged by recent work in computer science concerning the representation and ...

Hierarchical Summary Statistics Encoding Across Primary Visual and Posterior Parietal Cortices
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study shows that mouse V1 simultaneously encodes the ensemble mean and variance of motion, providing a robust summary‐statistic representation that persists despite single‐neuron variability. These signals propagate to PPC, where they are transformed into abstract category representations during decision making.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Mid‐infrared optoacoustic microscopy (MiROM) acquires lipid‐ and protein‐ associated vibrational contrast in intact fat tissue without dyes, preserving native tissue architecture. Through lateral and axial segmentation, MiROM tracks intrinsic intracellular changes during postnatal remodeling. A quantitative spatial analysis tool (Q‐SAT) maps white‐ and
