Neurons in the brain form highly complex networks through synaptic connections. Traditionally, functional connectivity between neurons has been explored using methods such as correlations, which do not contain any notion of directionality. Recently, an inf ...
Tachistoscopes allow brief visual stimulation delivery, which is crucial for experiments in which subliminal presentation is required. Up to now, tachistoscopes have had shortcomings with respect to timing accuracy, reliability, and flexibility of use. Her ...
An efficient decoding of vector signaling codes is obtained using a circuit that ranks received signal levels, designates ranked values as representing particular code elements, and translates those particular code elements into a decoded result. An optimi ...
Planar electrodes are increasingly used in therapeutic neural stimulation techniques such as functional electrical stimulation, epidural spinal cord stimulation and cortical stimulation. Recently, optimized electrode geometries have been shown to increase ...
Future emerging technologies in upper limb neuroprosthetic devices will require decoding and executing the user's intended movement. Previous studies, using invasive and non-invasive brain signals, have shown promising results in decoding movement directio ...
We present a comparative study of the performance of different basis functions for the nonparametric modeling of neural activity in response to natural stimuli. Based on naturalistic video sequences, a generative model of neural activity was created using ...
Under normal viewing conditions, due to the motion of objects and to eye movements, the retinotopic representation of the environment constantly changes. Yet we perceive the world as stable, and we easily keep track of moving objects. Here, we investigated ...
The response of a neuron to a time-dependent stimulus, as measured in a Peri-Stimulus-Time-Histogram (PSTH), exhibits an intricate temporal structure that reflects potential temporal coding principles. Here we analyze the encoding and decoding of PSTHs for ...
Rodents use two distinct neuronal coordinate systems to estimate their position: place fields in the hippocampus and grid fields in the entorhinal cortex. Whereas place cells spike at only one particular spatial location, grid cells fire at multiple sites ...
In this paper, we consider the problem of decoding network coded correlated data when the decoder does not receive sufficient information for exact decoding. We propose an iterative decoding algorithm based on belief propagation that efficiently exploits t ...
