Abstract: Control of movement requires the coordination of multiple brain areas, each containing populations of neurons that receive inputs, process these inputs via recurrent dynamics, and then relay the processed information to downstream populations. Information transmission between neural populations could occur through either coordinated changes in firing rates or the precise transmission of spike timing. We investigate the nature of the code for transmission of signals to downstream areas from a part of the cerebellar cortex that is crucial for the accurate execution of a quantifiable motor behavior. Simultaneous recordings from Purkinje cell pairs in the cerebellar flocculus of rhesus macaques revealed how these cells coordinate their activity to drive smooth pursuit eye movements. Purkinje cells show millisecond-scale coordination of spikes (synchrony), but the level of synchrony is small and likely insufficient to impact the firing of downstream neurons in the vestibular nucleus. Further, analysis of previous metrics for assaying Purkinje cell synchrony demonstrates that these metrics conflate changes in firing rate and neuron-neuron covariance. We conclude that the output of the cerebellar cortex uses primarily a rate code rather than synchrony code to drive activity of downstream neurons and thus control motor behavior.

Abstract: During natural visual foraging, primates move their eyes 2-3 times per second to bring objects of interest to central, high-resolution vision at the fovea. For moving objects, they use a combination of rapid saccadic eye movements along with smooth following movements to track targets continuously. It is also known that saccadic eye movements produce perceptual enhancements for the saccade target before the eyes move, called pre-saccadic attention. Recently, in human participants, we found that saccades made to peripheral motion apertures resulted in smooth post-saccadic following that tracked stimulus motion at low gain (Kwon, Rolfs, & Mitchell, 2019). Because this effect persisted even when the stimulus disappeared in saccade flight, we can infer the post-saccadic following was predictive, reflecting the integration of peripheral motion information from the target before the saccade, and provides an automatic perceptual read-out of stimulus motion. Here we examined post-saccadic following in marmoset monkeys to determine if they automatically tracked stimulus motion like humans, and if so, if that following response could be used as a reliable behavioral read-out of motion. Marmosets performed a saccade foraging task in which they initially acquired central fixation and then made a saccade that sampled between three different motion apertures. For each trial, the direction of motion of each aperture was independently sampled from 16 directions. We found that immediately upon saccade offset, the marmosets eye traces followed the pre-saccadic motion with a low (10-20%) gain that was consistent with humans. We also found that the motion from other non-target apertures influenced following responses though with a much weaker gain. The gain was distributed equally across apertures before the saccade, but immediately after the saccade was enhanced for the saccade target relative to other apertures, consistent with a post-saccadic target enhancement found in smooth pursuit (Gardener and Lisberger, 2001). This following response provided an estimate of target motion with a median absolute angular errors ranging from 25 to 50 degrees across sessions, roughly half as accurate as that achieved with an explicit trained perceptual report (Cloherty et. al., 2020). Session by session the relative gain for the target as compared to other apertures also varied, providing an index of attentional selection. These findings support that natural visual foraging with moving targets can provide an automatic behavioral read-out of peripheral motion integration and pre-saccadic attention.

Today's show is a discussion and review of the landmark 1982 computer animated science fiction action adventure film TRON, which celebrated its 40th anniversary on July 9th.It's tough to imagine a time when computer generated imagery or CGI wasn't a main staple in the entertainment industry.  Back in the 1950s, mechanical computers were used to create patterns onto animation cells.  The first film to use these cells was Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo (1958).  Over the next 23 years, CGI made small leaps, with a short film in 1972, being blended with live action in 1973, appearing as 3D animation in 1976, and then Industrial Light and Magic blew everyone away, using CGI in the trench run at the end of Star Wars (1977).  Up until Star Wars, CGI was basically an ad on feature that was cool to use, but could have been easily replaced.  George Lucas's Industrial Light and Magic (ILM) showed everyone that CGI could be used on a larger scale.  And then came 1982s TRON.    Tron was the first full feature film to not only employ CGI, but utilize it as the backbone of the film.  Without CGI, Tron doesn't work.  Because of CGI limitations at the time, it was up to Disney, Lisberger, and a host of other artists, animators, dreamers, and innovators to break new ground, invent new methods, and bring TRON to the big screen.No one knew the impact that Tron would have on the entertainment industry, but 40 years later, we can look back and acknowledge the genius of this movie through its creators, its impact, and its legacy.  In this show, we do more than a movie review by delving into the lives of the cast and crew, fan theories, trivia, scene breakdowns, and anything related to film and TV.  Needless to say, our shows are a little longer than your average movie review show, but we can assure you that our shows are jam packed with entertaining and interesting discussions.  If that sounds like your sort of bag, hang out with Kenny and Del as they review TRON.Resource and Interesting Links:The Making of Tron - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSiEklGobmYTheatrical Version Opening - https://youtu.be/-D_ccGj7jgMDeleted Love Scene - https://youtu.be/nED_W7NA2VsAnimal Olympics (1980) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHFlVC5pEmIFirst CGI used in film - https://youtu.be/GQwp6M2q1NEFirst CGI Short film - https://youtu.be/wdedV81UQ5kFirst CGI blend with Live Action in film - https://youtu.be/nILKFlpOZi0First CGI animation in film - https://youtu.be/QfRAfsK5cvUThanks for listening, and feel free to hit us up on any of our social media platforms!     https://linktr.ee/BiAPodcastTheme song "Loli'ana" written and performed by award-winning musician Kamuela Kahoano.   Listen to more of Kamuela's music on iTunes and https://kamuelamusic.com/.  Also, "Loli'ana" performed live at The Ko'olau Banquet Hall can be seen here https://youtu.be/YDJ1NNJgEiA  Thanks for listening!  Don't forget our next bi-weekly Pod, and keep an eye out for our specials, series, request line, and news episodes!  And please subscribe and review!

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.10.22.350371v1?rss=1 Authors: Egger, S. W., Lisberger, S. G. Abstract: We seek to understand the neural mechanisms that perform sensory decoding for motor behavior, advancing the field by designing decoders based on neural circuits. A simple experiment produced a surprising result that shapes our approach. Changing the size of a target for smooth pursuit eye movements changes the relationship between the variance and mean of the evoked behavior in a way that contradicts the regime of "signal-dependent noise" and defies traditional decoding approaches. A theoretical analysis leads us to conclude that sensory decoding circuits for pursuit include multiple parallel pathways and multiple sources of variation. Behavioral and neural responses with biomimetic statistics emerge from a biologically-motivated circuit model with noise in the pathway that is dedicated to flexibly adjusting the strength of visual-motor transmission. Flexible adjustment of transmission strength applies much more broadly to issues in sensory-motor control such as Bayesian integration and control strategies to optimize motor behavior.

Con este programa llegamos a la mágica cifra de 100 programas, se dice pronto, pero atrás quedan casi tres temporadas nuestro paso por Uniradio, cadena SER, nuestros viajes a los videoclubs para realizar los directos, gente que ha caído por el camino, una nominación a los premios del cine andaluz ASECAN y seguimos con una nueva etapa que comenzamos en este programa con Onda Jaén, esperemos que dure mucho, y si no es así, nosotros seguiremos de todas formas. Y para conmemorar este programa hemos elegido una película de culto, TRON, película que marcó los esquemas de la estética de la evolución informática de usuario que comenzaba a revolucionar el mercado y las vidas de los hogares en los 80. Con guión y dirección de Steven Lisberger, llega a los videoclubs de manos de la Walt Disney Home Edition, "Filmayer" de los años 80, aquella en la que salía "Mickey" vestido de brujo, con caratula blanca y que era exclusiva para alquiler. Tron nace como el nombre de un videojuego o programa para usuarios, como bien avecinaba por aquel entonces Lisberger, pero más que eso es un concepto futurista, un descubrimiento generacional hacia las nuevas tecnologías que llega hasta hoy en día. Para nosotros es una película que marca un punto de parada obligatoria en la línea de evolución del cine, con una abstracción de conceptos en su interior de gran dificultad interpretativa y que a pesar de no ser comprendida en su día, Lisberger sabe describir perfectamente. Hemos hablado en el programa de todo esto, de la nostalgia del videojuego y los primeros ordenadores que entraron en los hogares, de la retro tecnología, si se puede llamar así, de los efectos especiales de TRON, de Disney, de la dificultad de la ejecución de este proyecto de película, de los actores, del montaje e incluso hemos tenido tiempo para poner en su sitio a TRON LEGACY, para nosotros una gran película y no solo por su espectacular banda sonora, y además hemos hablado de todo el universo que hay alrededor de la historia que se inició en el 1982 con esta película incluida su serie de animación que es el verdadero hilo conductor del legado de TRON. Como siempre hemos contado con un Highlander, en este caso el invitado ha sido nuestro amigo remaker y jugón Jesús Martínez Megías, y el equipo del programa en esta ocasión con Javi García y Rafael Teruel curiosamente en los mandos técnicos, dirigido y presentado por el que os escribe Juan Pablo Videoclubsero.
