A recurrent neural network (RNN) can generate a sequence of patterns as the temporal evolution of the output vector. This paper focuses on a continuous-time RNN model with a piecewise-linear activation function that has neither external inputs nor hi...
Place recognition is an essential spatial intelligence capability for robots to understand and navigate the world. However, recognizing places in natural environments remains a challenging task for robots because of resource limitations and changing ...

Evolution-communication spiking neural P systems with energy request rules (ECSNP-ER systems) are proposed and developed as a new variant of evolution-communication spiking neural P systems. In ECSNP-ER systems, in addition to spike-evolution rules a...
Increasing violence in workplaces such as hospitals seriously challenges public safety. However, it is time- and labor-consuming to visually monitor masses of video data in real time. Therefore, automatic and timely violent activity detection from vi...
Cognitive functions such as learning in mammalian brains have been attributed to the presence of neuronal circuits with feed-forward and feedback topologies. Such networks have interactions within and between neurons that provide excitory and inhibit...
Mapping behavioural actions to neural activity is a fundamental goal of neuroscience. As our ability to record large neural and behavioural data increases, there is growing interest in modelling neural dynamics during adaptive behaviours to probe neu...
Animals rely on different decision strategies when faced with ambiguous or uncertain cues. Depending on the context, decisions may be biased towards events that were most frequently experienced in the past, or be more explorative. A particular type o...
