Spike Encoding with Optic Sensory Neurons Enable a Pulse Coupled Neural Network for Ultraviolet Image Segmentation.

Nano letters
Drawing inspiration from biology, neuromorphic systems are of great interest in direct interaction and efficient processing of analogue signals in the real world and could be promising for the development of smart sensors. Here, we demonstrate an art...

Separability and geometry of object manifolds in deep neural networks.

Nature communications
Stimuli are represented in the brain by the collective population responses of sensory neurons, and an object presented under varying conditions gives rise to a collection of neural population responses called an 'object manifold'. Changes in the obj...

Reaction-diffusion memory unit: Modeling of sensitization, habituation and dishabituation in the brain.

PloS one
We propose a novel approach to investigate the effects of sensitization, habituation and dishabituation in the brain using the analysis of the reaction-diffusion memory unit (RDMU). This unit consists of Morris-Lecar-type sensory, motor, interneuron ...

Modeling grid fields instead of modeling grid cells : An effective model at the macroscopic level and its relationship with the underlying microscopic neural system.

Journal of computational neuroscience
A neuron's firing correlates are defined as the features of the external world to which its activity is correlated. In many parts of the brain, neurons have quite simple such firing correlates. A striking example are grid cells in the rodent medial e...

Discrimination of bursts and tonic activity in multifunctional sensorimotor neural network using the extended hill-valley method.

Journal of neurophysiology
Individual neurons can exhibit a wide range of activity, including spontaneous spiking, tonic spiking, bursting, or spike-frequency adaptation, and can also transition between these activity types. Manual identification of these activity patterns can...

Characterisation of nonlinear receptive fields of visual neurons by convolutional neural network.

Scientific reports
A comprehensive understanding of the stimulus-response properties of individual neurons is necessary to crack the neural code of sensory cortices. However, a barrier to achieving this goal is the difficulty of analysing the nonlinearity of neuronal r...

Emergence of spontaneous assembly activity in developing neural networks without afferent input.

PLoS computational biology
Spontaneous activity is a fundamental characteristic of the developing nervous system. Intriguingly, it often takes the form of multiple structured assemblies of neurons. Such assemblies can form even in the absence of afferent input, for instance in...

Sensory cortex is optimized for prediction of future input.

eLife
Neurons in sensory cortex are tuned to diverse features in natural scenes. But what determines which features neurons become selective to? Here we explore the idea that neuronal selectivity is optimized to represent features in the recent sensory pas...

Fitting of dynamic recurrent neural network models to sensory stimulus-response data.

Journal of biological physics
We present a theoretical study aiming at model fitting for sensory neurons. Conventional neural network training approaches are not applicable to this problem due to lack of continuous data. Although the stimulus can be considered as a smooth time-de...

Demixed principal component analysis of neural population data.

eLife
Neurons in higher cortical areas, such as the prefrontal cortex, are often tuned to a variety of sensory and motor variables, and are therefore said to display mixed selectivity. This complexity of single neuron responses can obscure what information...
