Congratulations to Nikhita Bhatt, Myah Gross and Yash Sreepathi on presenting the results from their research activities performed during the Aspiring Scientists’ Summer Internship Program (ASSIP) in the Spatial Cognition Lab at George Mason University.
New eLife paper on the emergence of grid cells published! This study explains the existence of grid cells as an emergent property of coding trajectories by neural sequences.
