There is growing interest in the functional meaning of rhythmical brain activity. For oscillatory brain activity around 10 Hz in the human electroencephalogram (EEG) it is discussed whether it is associated with the level of cortical excitation. However, i ...
Neuronal response properties are typically probed by intracellular measurements of current-voltage (I-V) relationships during application of current or voltage steps. Here we demonstrate the measurement of a novel I-V curve measured while the neuron exhibi ...
We review here the development of Hodgkin-Huxley (HH) type models of cerebral cortex and thalamic neurons for network simulations. The intrinsic electrophysiological properties of cortical neurons were analyzed from several preparations, and we selected th ...
Nowadays, physiological monitoring is imperative for the safety of medical operations. However, systems which monitor the depth of anaesthesia are still far from reliable, such that still some patients may experience the trauma of remaining conscious under ...
Most simple neuron models are only able to model traditional spiking behavior. As physiologists discover and classify different electrical phenotypes, computational neuroscientists become interested in using simple phenomenological models that can exhibit ...
We present a framework for efficient, accurate approximate Bayesian inference in generalized linear models (GLMs), based on the expectation propagation (EP) technique. The parameters can be endowed with a factorizing prior distribution, encoding properties ...
Predicting activity of single neuron is an important part of the computational neuroscience and a great challenge. Several mathematical models exist, from the simple (one compartment and few parameters, like the SRM or the IF-type models), to the more comp ...
In this paper, we investigate the use of brain activity for person authentication. It has been shown in previous studies that the brain-wave pattern of every individual is unique and that the electroencephalogram (EEG) can be used for biometric identificat ...
In this paper we present a method for automatic detection of motor intention from in vivo neuronal recordings in monkeys. The analysis relies on a data base of spike trains collected in a series of experiments aiming to study the hand-eye coordination mech ...
The mammalian neocortex is one of the most complex brain areas, integrating all sensory modalities and allowing the animal to perform high level cognitive operations. Despite some cytoarchitectural specializations, the general neocortical structure is rema ...
