Epilepsy is a prevalent neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures, which are sudden bursts of electrical activity in the brain. The Epileptor model is a computational model specifically created to replicate the complex dynamics of epi...
In natural and artificial neural networks, modularity and distributed structure afford complementary but competing benefits. The former allows for hierarchical representations that can flexibly recombine modules to address novel problems, whereas the...
Neural network complexity allows for diverse neuronal population dynamics and realizes higherorder brain functions such as cognition and memory. Complexity is enhanced through chemical synapses with exponentially decaying conductance and greater vari...
Training spiking neural networks to approximate universal functions is essential for studying information processing in the brain and for neuromorphic computing. Yet the binary nature of spikes poses a challenge for direct gradient-based training. Su...
Animal nervous systems can detect changes in their environments within hundredths of a second. They do so by discerning abrupt shifts in sensory neural activity. Many neuroscience studies have employed change-point detection (CPD) algorithms to estim...
From biological and artificial network perspectives, researchers have started acknowledging astrocytes as computational units mediating neural processes. Here, we propose a novel biologically inspired neuron-astrocyte network model for image recognit...
The Wilson-Cowan model for metapopulation, a neural mass network model, treats different subcortical regions of the brain as connected nodes, with connections representing various types of structural, functional, or effective neuronal connectivity be...
Recent advances in theoretical biology suggest that key definitions of basal cognition and sentient behavior may arise as emergent properties of in vitro cell cultures and neuronal networks. Such neuronal networks reorganize activity to demonstrate s...
Spiking neural networks (SNNs) have attracted significant interest in the development of brain-inspired computing systems due to their energy efficiency and similarities to biological information processing. In contrast to continuous-valued artificia...
The creation of future low-power neuromorphic solutions requires specialist spiking neural network (SNN) algorithms that are optimized for neuromorphic settings. One such algorithmic challenge is the ability to recall learned patterns from their nois...
