  • This paper proposes training of an artificial neural network to identify and model the physiological properties of a biological neuron, and mimic its input-output mapping. (sciweavers.org)
  • We identified inward currents at hyperpolarized potentials as the cause of the saturation in the model neuron. (jneurosci.org)
  • The model also simulates limitations and defects of the imaging technology (calcium fluorescence): limited time resolution (not allowing to separate individual spikes) and light scattering artifacts (by which the activity of given neuron influences the measurements of nearby neurons). (chalearn.org)
  • A high-performance neural prosthesis enabled by control algorithm design. (engineering.org.cn)
  • The FL algorithm therefore provides an efficient tool, complementary to ML-EM, for exploring BSN networks in more detail in order to better understand their biological relevance. (mit.edu)
  • The defects allow us to manipulate the material's behaviour to mimic both neural connections and disconnections, depending on the wavelength of light shining on it. (cosmosmagazine.com)
  • To run a VERTEX simulation the user must first specify parameters to build the network over which the simulation will run. (scholarpedia.org)
  • These parameters can be split into the following groups: neuron parameters, connection parameters, and tissue parameters. (scholarpedia.org)
  • The tissue parameters group includes the dimensions of the tissue to be simulated, as well as the layer boundaries (specifying the number and size of each layer in the structure), neuron density, and conductivity. (scholarpedia.org)
  • To facilitate the search process, we propose methods Evolutionary SNN neurons (ESNN), which optimizes the SNN parameters, and apply the previous method of weight entanglement supernet training, which optimizes the Vision Transformer (ViT) parameters. (catalyzex.com)
  • 2) We build an affective empathy spiking neural network (AE-SNN) that simulates the mirror mechanism of MNS and has self-other differentiation ability. (frontiersin.org)
  • Computationally, Brian uses vectorization techniques (Brette and Goodman 2011) , so that for large numbers of neurons, execution speed is of the same order of magnitude as C++ code (Goodman and Brette 2008 , 2009 ). (scholarpedia.org)
  • Current neural network algorithms produce impressive results that help solve an incredible number of problems. (scitechdaily.com)
  • However, unlike rate-based neural networks, it is yet unclear how to train spiking networks to solve complex problems. (researchgate.net)
  • Also known as belief networks, it helps solve inference and learning problems. (pythontpoints.com)
