The unified theory of reinforcement has been used to develop models of behavior over the last 20 years (Donahoe et al., 1993). Previous research has focused on the theory's concordance with the respondent behavior of humans and animals. In this exper...
The development of coordinated reach-to-grasp movement has been well studied in infants and children. However, the role of motor cortex during this development is unclear because it is difficult to study in humans. We took the approach of using a bra...

Animals successfully thrive in noisy environments with finite resources. The necessity to function with resource constraints has led evolution to design animal brains (and bodies) to be optimal in their use of computational power while being adaptabl...

Most of the operant conditioning only consider the basic theory, but the influencing factors such as immediacy and satiety are ignored. In this paper, a memristor neural network circuit based on operant conditioning with immediacy and satiety is prop...
Keyboard instruments play a significant role in the music teaching process, providing students with an enjoyable musical experience while enhancing their music literacy. This study aims to investigate the current state of keyboard instrument teaching...
Our understanding of bird song, a model system for animal communication and the neurobiology of learning, depends critically on making reliable, validated comparisons between the complex multidimensional syllables that are used in songs. However, mos...

Most operant conditioning circuits predominantly focus on simple feedback process, few studies consider the intricacies of feedback outcomes and the uncertainty of feedback time. This paper proposes a neuromorphic circuit based on operant conditionin...
The use of supervised machine learning to approximate poses in video recordings allows for rapid and efficient analysis of complex behavioral profiles. Currently, there are limited protocols for automated analysis of operant self-administration behav...
