This paper changed my life: ‘A massively parallel architecture for a self-organizing neural pattern recognition machine,’ by Carpenter and Grossberg
This paper taught me that we can use mathematical modeling to understand how neural networks are organized—and led me to a doctoral program in the department led by its authors.

How does information processing during sleep really change?
Brain activity might be higher but brain information is lower and redundant.
Great and early discussions with Christine Blume and wonderful work from @Andrés Canales-Johnson conceptual and methodological analysis.
