Researchers used information theory to analyze humpback whale songs and found a hierarchical structure with multiple layers of repetition. This study offers a new approach to studying animal communication and may inform research in evolutionary biology.
Researchers will investigate how brains perceive novelty and importance using a computational theory of surprise. The project combines experiments, modeling, and neurophysiological studies to develop a new understanding of how the brain codes for these concepts.
Researchers Jody O'Sullivan and Pierre Moulin have developed a theory that sets fundamental limits on the amount of information that can be reliably hidden in various data types. This breakthrough has significant implications for security applications, including detecting forgery and intercepting terrorist messages.
