This is the story of how the Mosers discovered Grid Cells, as told by themselves.
We both grew up on remote islands off the west coast of Norway, a couple of hundred miles
…Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) consists in the concurrent construction of a model of the environment (the map), and the estimation of the state of the robot moving within it. The SLAM community has made astonishing progress over the last …
Robotics is not just fodder for fiction, despite the word being coined by Russian-born American sci-fi writer Isaac Asimov in his 1942 short story 'Runaround'. The field has become multi-disciplinary, borrowing from engineering, mathematics, computer science and, more recently, neuroscience. …
Topological networks lie at the heart of our cities and social milieu. However, it remains unclear how and when the brain processes topological structures to guide future behaviour during everyday life. Using fMRI in humans and a simulation of London …
