This talk will focus on the formats of those representations, on circuit dynamics, on sparseness, and on the relation between representations of simple odors and mixtures. -

STDP learning rules and plasticity in a small olfactory system

I will present first a couple of non-associative phenomena, both linking plasticity and synchrony. I will then describe more recent work connecting STDP and reward signals, indicating that STDP rules are labile and influenced by the context in which they are being used.
If time allows, I will present the outlines of the new work that we started at MPI Brain Research, on computation in an ancient cortex.

Instead, the system shows clear hydrodynamical behavior corresponding to surprisingly small mean free path. The same has been confirmed at the first PbPb LHC run last year. Now comes ``the second act of hydro", a description of sound and shock perturbations on top of expanding fireball. I will describe hydro predictions and show their excellent agreement with RHIC/LHC data. In this talk I will also compare it to the perturbations in the Big Bang, in CMB. At the end I will turn to the jets as another object for sounds and shocks. -

Stefan Meyer Institute, Austrian Academy of SciencesOrganizer Department of Particle Physics and AstrophysicsContact Abstract Show full text abstract about The antikaon interaction on nucleons and nuclei in the low-e...» The antikaon interaction on nucleons and nuclei in the low-energy regime is neither simple nor well understood. Even the kaonic hydrogen and kaonic deuterium cases are complicated due to subthreshold resonances ¬ most prominent is the Lambda(1405) resonance of still heavily debated nature. New experimental studies via x-ray spectroscopy of the lightest kaonic atomic systems (kaonic hydrogen and helium isotopes) have successfully performed by the SIDDHARTA Collaboration at LNF (Frascati, Italy) recently. Consequently new precision data on the strong interaction observables were delivered giving important impact for the theory. The talk will give an overview of the progress and present status of experimental studies and will provide an outlook to future perspectives in this fascinating research field. -
