Neural networks are widely applied in research and industry. However, their broader application is hampered by various technical details. Among these details are several training parameters and the choice of the topology of the network. The subject of this ...
We investigate generic models for cortical microcircuits, i.e., recurrent circuits of integrate-and-fire neurons with dynamic synapses. These complex dynamic systems subserve the amazing information processing capabilities of the cortex, but are at the pre ...
Artificial neural networks are applied to many real-world problems, ranging from pattern classification to robot control. In order to design a neural network for a particular task, the choice of an architecture (including the choice of a neuron model), and ...
Our brain continuously self-organizes to construct and maintain an internal representation of the world based on the information arriving through sensory stimuli. Remarkably, cortical areas related to different sensory modalities appear to share the same f ...

memory in biological neural networks. Similarly, artificial neural networks could benefit from modulatory dynamics when facing certain types of learning problem. Here we test this hypothesis by introducing modulatory neurons to enhance or dampen neural pla ...
Environments with varying reward contingencies constitute a challenge to many living creatures. In such conditions, animals capable of adaptation and learning derive an advantage. Recent studies suggest that neuromodulatory dynamics are a key factor in reg ...
