Neural processing and brain representations are strongly dependent on state, in many senses: on recent experience, on global states such as arousal and motivation, and on current behavioral goals.

 

The goal of this mini workshop is to share ideas about how neural architecture causes these state changes and how state dependence contributes to neural computation.
