The mathematical relation between a vector electric field and its corresponding scalar potential field is useful to formulate computational problems of lower/middle-order visual processing, specifically related to the assignment of borders to the sid...
Reinforcement learning has been widely used in explaining animal behavior. In reinforcement learning, the agent learns the value of the states in the task, collectively constituting the task state space, and uses the knowledge to choose actions and a...

Investigation of the role of the local field potential (LFP) fluctuations in encoding the received sensory information by the nervous system remains largely unknown. On the other hand, transmission of these translation rules in information transmissi...
The activities of groups of neurons in a circuit or brain region are important for neuronal computations that contribute to behaviors and disease states. Traditional extracellular recordings have been powerful and scalable, but much less is known abo...

Previous studies have shown that spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) can be used in spiking neural networks (SNN) to extract visual features of low or intermediate complexity in an unsupervised manner. These studies, however, used relatively sha...
Auditory learning induces frequency-specific plasticity in the auditory cortex. Both the auditory cortex and thalamus are involved in the cortical plasticity; however, the precise role of the intracortical circuity remains unclear until the contribut...

Single hidden layer feedforward neural networks (SLFNs) with fixed weights possess the universal approximation property provided that approximated functions are univariate. But this phenomenon does not lay any restrictions on the number of neurons in...
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...

PURPOSE: The organization of neural networks and the mechanisms, which generate the highly stereotypical for absence epilepsy spike-wave discharges (SWDs) is heavily debated. Here we describe such a model which can both reproduce the characteristics ...
Brain decoders use neural recordings to infer the activity or intent of a user. To train a decoder, one generally needs to infer the measured variables of interest (covariates) from simultaneously measured neural activity. However, there are cases fo...
