Modeling Neural Adaptation in Auditory Cortex.

Frontiers in neural circuits
Neural responses recorded from auditory cortex exhibit adaptation, a stimulus-specific decrease that occurs when the same sound is presented repeatedly. Stimulus-specific adaptation is thought to facilitate perception in noisy environments. Although ...

Machine learning identifies signatures of host adaptation in the bacterial pathogen Salmonella enterica.

PLoS genetics
Emerging pathogens are a major threat to public health, however understanding how pathogens adapt to new niches remains a challenge. New methods are urgently required to provide functional insights into pathogens from the massive genomic data sets no...

Shaping the collision selectivity in a looming sensitive neuron model with parallel ON and OFF pathways and spike frequency adaptation.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
Shaping the collision selectivity in vision-based artificial collision-detecting systems is still an open challenge. This paper presents a novel neuron model of a locust looming detector, i.e. the lobula giant movement detector (LGMD1), in order to p...

Resting-state functional connectivity predicts the ability to adapt arm reaching in a robot-mediated force field.

NeuroImage
Motor deficits are common outcomes of neurological conditions such as stroke. In order to design personalised motor rehabilitation programmes such as robot-assisted therapy, it would be advantageous to predict how a patient might respond to such trea...

Motor modules during adaptation to walking in a powered ankle exoskeleton.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Modules of muscle recruitment can be extracted from electromyography (EMG) during motions, such as walking, running, and swimming, to identify key features of muscle coordination. These features may provide insight into gait adaptation as...

Robustness in living organisms is homeostasis.

Seminars in immunology
In order to survive and reproduce, living organisms must be robust, tolerate injuries and undergo repair. Robustness in living organisms compares to robustness in human inventions, such as buildings and machines, which have to withstand occasional da...

How do walkers behave when crossing the way of a mobile robot that replicates human interaction rules?

Gait & posture
Previous studies showed the existence of implicit interaction rules shared by human walkers when crossing each other. Especially, each walker contributes to the collision avoidance task and the crossing order, as set at the beginning, is preserved al...

The Wisdom of Networks: A General Adaptation and Learning Mechanism of Complex Systems: The Network Core Triggers Fast Responses to Known Stimuli; Innovations Require the Slow Network Periphery and Are Encoded by Core-Remodeling.

BioEssays : news and reviews in molecular, cellular and developmental biology
I hypothesize that re-occurring prior experience of complex systems mobilizes a fast response, whose attractor is encoded by their strongly connected network core. In contrast, responses to novel stimuli are often slow and require the weakly connecte...

Root traits of European Vicia faba cultivars-Using machine learning to explore adaptations to agroclimatic conditions.

Plant, cell & environment
Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is an important source of protein, but breeding for increased yield stability and stress tolerance is hampered by the scarcity of phenotyping information. Because comparisons of cultivars adapted to different agroclimatic zo...

Treadmill vs. overground walking: different response to physical interaction.

Journal of neurophysiology
Rehabilitation of human motor function is an issue of growing significance, and human-interactive robots offer promising potential to meet the need. For the lower extremity, however, robot-aided therapy has proven challenging. To inform effective app...
