Distributed Synaptic Connection Strength Changes Dynamics in a Population Firing Rate Model in Response to Continuous External Stimuli.

Neural computation
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...

Elucidating the Theoretical Underpinnings of Surrogate Gradient Learning in Spiking Neural Networks.

Neural computation
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...

The Leaky Integrate-and-Fire Neuron Is a Change-Point Detector for Compound Poisson Processes.

Neural computation
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...

Spiking Neuron-Astrocyte Networks for Image Recognition.

Neural computation
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...

Learning in Wilson-Cowan Model for Metapopulation.

Neural computation
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...

Active Inference and Intentional Behavior.

Neural computation
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...

Toward a Free-Response Paradigm of Decision Making in Spiking Neural Networks.

Neural computation
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...

Improving Recall in Sparse Associative Memories That Use Neurogenesis.

Neural computation
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...

Contrastive Neuron Pruning for Backdoor Defense.

IEEE transactions on image processing : a publication of the IEEE Signal Processing Society
Recent studies have revealed that deep neural networks (DNNs) are susceptible to backdoor attacks, in which attackers insert a pre-defined backdoor into a DNN model by poisoning a few training samples. A small subset of neurons in DNN is responsible ...

Intelligent Control to Suppress Epileptic Seizures in the Amygdala: In Silico Investigation Using a Network of Izhikevich Neurons.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Closed-loop electricalstimulation of brain structures is one of the most promising techniques to suppress epileptic seizures in drug-resistant refractory patients who are also ineligible to ablative neurosurgery. In this work, an intelligent controll...
