Invariants of Behavior Constancy and Variability in Neural Systems /

Invariants of Behavior Constancy and Variability in Neural Systems /

The study of the brain and behavior is enhanced by the discovery of invariances. Experimental brain research uncovers constancies amid variation with respect to interventions and transformations prescribed by experimental paradigms; furthermore, place cells, mirror neurons, event-related potentials,...
