The complexity of processes occurring in the brain is an intriguing issue not just for scientists and medical doctors, but the humanity in general. The cortex ability to perceive and analyze an enormous amount of information in an instance of time, the par ...
Recent studies have shown that biological neural systems are able to use noise and non linearities to improve the information processing which is occurred in. This thesis focus on this topic. We investigate the links between some operations of signal proce ...
Perception depends on the interplay of ongoing spontaneous activity and stimulus-evoked activity in sensory cortices. This raises the possibility that training ongoing spontaneous activity alone might be sufficient for enhancing perceptual sensitivity. To ...
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 ...
Associative memory problem: Find the closest stored vector (in Hamming distance) to a given query vector. There are different ways to implement an associative memory, including the neural networks and DNA strands. Using neural networks, connection weights ...
We studied the spatiotemporal characteristics of cortical activity in early visual areas and the fusiform gyri (FG) by means of magnetoencephalography (MEG). Subjects performed a visual classification task, in which letters and visually similar pseudolette ...
Imitation is the ability to recognize, learn and reproduce the actions of others. In addition to facilitating the transmission of knowledge and skills, it has been suggested that this fundamental cognitive capacity is at the origin of other human faculties ...
Objective: How the brain achieves integration of temporally dispersed information is one of the enigmas in the neurosciences. By combining feature fusion with transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), we show that individual visual features are stored for s ...
The primary visual cortex (V1) is pre-wired to facilitate the extraction of behaviorally important visual features. Collinear edge detectors in V1, for instance, mutually enhance each other to improve the perception of lines against a noisy background. The ...
The relationships between brain activity and accompanying hemodynamic and metabolic alterations, particularly between the cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen utilization (CMR(O2)) and cerebral blood flow (CBF), are not thoroughly established. CMR(O2) is clos ...
