NeuroMat's study on "Retrieving the structure of probabilistic sequences of auditory stimuli from EEG data" was featured on the last issue of science communication magazine Pesquisa FAPESP. The piece is called "The Statistician Brain" as NeuroMat's paper relates to a classical idea by Hermann von Helmholtz that the brain acts like a statistician as it models stimuli from the environment.

This week "Agência FAPESP" website featured an article about the new RIDC NeuroMat podcast, specially addressing the publication of the second episode of the program. The aim of the podcast is to spread the research developed by NeuroMat, at the interface between neurobiology and mathematics.
The program addresses three main themes: the neuronal spiking systems model developed by the CEPID NeuroMat team; the statistical framework needed to rigorously address the “statistical brain” conjecture; and the processes of construction and production of the state-of-the science in Brazil right now.
