An adaptive Exponential Integrate-and-Fire (aEIF) model was used to predict the activity of layer-V-pyramidal neurons of rat neocortex under random current injection. A new protocol has been developed to extract the parameters of the aEIF model using an op ...
Minimal nonlinear dynamic neuron models of the generic bifurcation type may provide the middle way between the detailed models favored by experimentalists and the simplified threshold and rate model of computational neuroscientists. This thesis investigate ...
In this paper, we present a continuous attractor network model, which we hypothesize will give some suggestion of the mechanisms underlying several neural processes, such as velocity tuning to visual stimulus, sensory discrimination, sensorimotor-transform ...
A neuron that is stimulated repeatedly by the same time-dependent stimulus exhibits slightly different spike timing at each trial. We compared the exact solution of the time-dependent firing rate for a stochastically spiking neuron model with refractorines ...
For simulations of large spiking neuron networks, an accurate, simple and versatile single-neuron modeling framework is required. Here we explore the versatility of a simple two-equation model: the adaptive exponential integrate-and-fire neuron. We show th ...
Definition of single spikes from multiunit spike trains plays a critical role in neurophysiology and in neuroengineering as it does the question of how much information is encoded by single neurons in a neuronal network. Moreover, the possibility to develo ...
We describe evolution of spiking neural architectures to control navigation of autonomous mobile robots. Experimental results with simple fitness functions indicate that evolution can rapidly generate spiking circuits capable of navigating in textured envi ...
The resonant properties of the intrinsic dynamics of single neurons could play a direct role in behaviour. One plausible role is in the recognition of temporal patterns, such as that seen in the auditory communication systems of Orthoptera. Recent behaviou ...
Since their introduction, Micro-Electrode Arrays (MEAs) have been exploited as devices providing distributed information about learning, memory and information processing in a cultured neuronal network, thus changing the field of view from single cell leve ...
A large number of studies on neuronal physiology and plasticity have provided a detailed picture of the molecular machinery underlying the modulation of neuronal activity. On the contrary, the mechanisms controlling properties of complex neuronal networks ...
