Neural Connectomics Challenge
by Demian Battaglia Isabelle Guyon Vincent Lemaire Javier Orlandi Bisakha Ray Jordi SorianoThis book illustrates the thrust of the scientific community to use machine learning concepts for tackling a complex problem: given time series of neuronal spontaneous activity, which is the underlying connectivity between the neurons in the network? The contributing authors also develop tools for the advancement of neuroscience through machine learning techniques, with a focus on the major open problems in neuroscience. While the techniques have been developed for a specific application, they address the more general problem of network reconstruction from observational time series, a problem of interest in a wide variety of domains, including econometrics, epidemiology, and climatology, to cite only a few. The book is designed for the mathematics, physics and computer science communities that carry out research in neuroscience problems. The content is also suitable for the machine learning community because it exemplifies how to approach the same problem from different perspectives.
Neural Correlates of Quality Perception for Complex Speech Signals
by Jan-Niklas AntonsThis book interconnects two essential disciplines to study the perception of speech: Neuroscience and Quality of Experience, which to date have rarely been used together for the purposes of research on speech quality perception. In five key experiments, the book demonstrates the application of standard clinical methods in neurophysiology on the one hand and of methods used in fields of research concerned with speech quality perception on the other. Using this combination, the book shows that speech stimuli with different lengths and different quality impairments are accompanied by physiological reactions related to quality variations, e. g. , a positive peak in an event-related potential. Furthermore, it demonstrates that - in most cases - quality impairment intensity has an impact on the intensity of physiological reactions.
Neural Dynamics for Time-varying Problems: Advances and Applications
by Long Jin Lin Wei Xin LvThis book mainly presents methods based on neural dynamics for the time-varying problems with applications, together with the corresponding theoretical analysis, simulative examples, and physical experiments. Based on these methods, their applications include motion planning of redundant manipulators, filter design, winner-take-all operation, multiple-input multiple-output system configuration, multi-linear tensor equation solving, and manipulability optimization are also presented. In this book, we present the design, proposal, development, analysis, modeling, and simulation of various neural dynamic models, along with their respective applications including motion planning of redundant manipulators, filter design, winner-take-all operation, multiple-input multiple-output system configuration, multi-linear tensor equation solving, and manipulability optimization. Specifically, starting from the top-level considerations of hardware implementation, we integrate computational intelligence methods and control theory to design a series of dynamic and noise-resistant discrete neural dynamic methods. The research work not only owns the theoretical guarantee on its convergence, noise resistance, and accuracy, but demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness in solving various optimization and equation solving problems, particularly in handling time-varying problems and noise perturbations. Moreover, by reducing complexity and avoiding matrix inversion operations, the models’ feasibility and practicality are further enhanced.
Neural Engineering: Computation, Representation, and Dynamics in Neurobiological Systems
by Chris Eliasmith Charles H. AndersonFor years, researchers have used the theoretical tools of engineering to understand neural systems, but much of this work has been conducted in relative isolation. In Neural Engineering, Chris Eliasmith and Charles Anderson provide a synthesis of the disparate approaches current in computational neuroscience, incorporating ideas from neural coding, neural computation, physiology, communications theory, control theory, dynamics, and probability theory. This synthesis, they argue, enables novel theoretical and practical insights into the functioning of neural systems. Such insights are pertinent to experimental and computational neuroscientists and to engineers, physicists, and computer scientists interested in how their quantitative tools relate to the brain. The authors present three principles of neural engineering based on the representation of signals by neural ensembles, transformations of these representations through neuronal coupling weights, and the integration of control theory and neural dynamics. Through detailed examples and in-depth discussion, they make the case that these guiding principles constitute a useful theory for generating large-scale models of neurobiological function. A software package written in MatLab for use with their methodology, as well as examples, course notes, exercises, documentation, and other material, are available on the Web.
