Selecting relevant visual information in complex scenes by processing either global information or local parts helps us act efficiently within our environment and achieve goals. A global advantage (faster global than local processing) and global interference (global processing interferes with local processing) comprise…

'André Moraes Bastos' 'Michael Lindner' 'Viola Priesemann' 'Michael Wibral' 'Fleur Zeldenrust'] Studies investigating neural information processing often implicitly ask both, which processing strategy out of several alternatives is used and how this strategy is implemented in neural dynamics. A prime example are…

Interplay of Local and Global Information Processing Authors: ['Mohammadhosein Ostadi Varnosfaderani' 'Masoumeh Golmohamadian' 'Alireza Bosaghzadeh' 'Shole Amiri' 'Reza Ebrahimpour'] EducaƟonal mulƟmedia has become increasingly important in modern learning environments because of its cost-effecƟveness and ability to…

Neuroscience is replete with evidence that cognitive representations are distributed across many cortical regions. Yet, the scale and content of such distributed processing is unclear. Do findings of widespread information coding suggest a large-scale “forest” of regions interacting to represent information or instead…

'Brian MacWhinney'] The goal of the current study is to investigate the effects of the distractive textual information on the activation of predictive inference online, and how the readers with high or low working memory capacity (WMC) differ in their online activation and text memory. To test the two hypothesis of…

Local ancestry inference is a powerful technique in genetics, revealing population history and the genetic basis of diseases. It is particularly valuable for improving eQTL discovery and fine-mapping in admixed populations. Despite the widespread use of the RFMix software for local ancestry inference, large-scale…

The representation of the surrounding world emerges through integration of sensory information and actions. We present a novel neural model which implements non-local, parallel information processing on a neocolumnar architecture with lateral interconnections. Information is integrated into a holographic wave…

The current understanding of sensory and motor cortical areas has been defined by the existence of topographical maps across the brain surface, however, higher cortical areas, such as the prefrontal cortex, seem to lack an equivalent organization, and only limited evidence of functional clustering of neurons with…

A long-standing characterization of autistic cognition is variously referred to as detail-oriented, local processing bias, bottom-up processing, and weak central coherence. A related construct, enhanced perceptual functioning, is a mechanism that could account for autistics’ superiority at a variety of detail-oriented…

'Aritran Piplai' 'Manas Gaur' 'Shahram Rahimi'] Security Operations Center (SoC) analysts gather threat reports from openly accessible global threat databases and customize them manually to suit a particular organization's needs. These analysts also depend on internal repositories, which act as private local knowledge…

Does gravity constrain computation? We study this question using the AdS/CFT correspondence, where computation in the presence of gravity can be related to non-gravitational physics in the boundary theory. In AdS/CFT, computations which happen locally in the bulk are implemented in a particular non-local form in the…

Cognitive functions arise from the coordinated activity of neural populations distributed over large-scale brain networks. However, it is challenging to understand and measure how specific aspects of neural dynamics translate into operations of information processing, and, ultimately, cognitive functions. An obstacle…

Large language models (LLMs) have garnered increasing attention owing to their potential as collaborative assistants in scientific studies. However, adapting an LLM to specialized domains remains challenging because of the difficulty in incorporating domain-specific knowledge. In the present study, we propose a…

Hemispheric asymmetry has been reported for global-local processing in young and older adults, with global processing specialised in the right hemisphere (RH-global specialisation) and local processing specialised in the left hemisphere (LH-local specialisation). Questions persist regarding the extent to which…

This work describes a competing activation network, which is regulated by chemical feedback at the liquid-surface interface. Feedback loops dynamically tune the concentration of chemical components in living systems, thereby controlling regulatory processes in neural, genetic, and metabolic networks. Advances in…

'Ti‐Anni Harris' 'Belinda Pletzer'] Title: ABSTRACT Functional hemispheric asymmetries are considered a key factor in intra- and interindividual variability of global precedence effects. However, research in this area is permeated by a considerable number of inconsistent findings which may stem from significant…

For over a century, the neuro- and pathophysiological, behavioral, and cognitive correlates of consciousness have been an active field of theoretical considerations and empirical research in a wide range of modern disciplines. Conscious cognitive processing of information cannot be observed directly, but might be…

Data complexity is an important concept in the natural sciences and related areas, but lacks a rigorous and computable definition. In this paper, we focus on a particular sense of complexity that is high if the data is structured in a way that could serve to communicate a message. In this sense, human speech, written…

—Information theory, introduced by Shannon, has been extremely successful and influential as a mathematical theory of communication. Shannon's notion of information does not consider the meaning of the messages being communicated but only their probability. Even so, computational approaches regularly appeal to…

Understanding the electronic structure of amino acids is crucial for understanding protein structure and function. We interfaced quantum information indices and ab initio quantum chemistry methods to quantify the locality correlation between neighboring amino acids. Quantum chemical information from the 1-, 2- and…

In a two sided black hole, systems falling in from opposite asymptotic regions can meet inside the black hole and interact. This is the case even while the two CFTs describing each asymptotic region are non-interacting. Here, we relate these behind the horizon interactions to non-local quantum computations. This gives…

This paper evaluates the capabilities and limitations of the Generative Pre-trained Transformer 4 (GPT-4) in chemical research. Although GPT-4 exhibits remarkable proficiencies, it is evident that the quality of input data significantly affects its performance. We explore GPT-4's potential in chemical tasks, such as…
