1. Evaluating the Effects of Neural Noise in the Multidigraph Learning Rule
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : There exists a knowledge gap in the field of Computational Neuroscience, where many learning models for neural networks fail to take into account the influence of neural noise. The purpose of this thesis was to address this knowledge gap by investigating the robustness of the Multidigraph learning rule (MDGL) when exposed to two kinds of neural noise: external noise and internal noise.

2. The data-driven CyberSpine : Modeling the Epidural Electrical Stimulation using Finite Element Model and Artificial Neural Networks
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : Every year, 250,000 people worldwide suffer a spinal cord injury (SCI) that leaves them with chronic paraplegia - permanent loss of ability to move their legs. SCI interrupts axons passing along the spinal cord, thereby isolating motor neurons from brain inputs. To date, there are no effective treatments that can reconnect these interrupted axons. READ MORE

3. Modelling synaptic rewiring in brain-like neural networks for representation learning
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : This research investigated the concept of a sparsity method inspired by the principles of structural plasticity in the brain in order to create a sparse model of the Bayesian Confidence Propagation Neural Networks (BCPNN) during the training phase. This was done by extending the structural plasticity in the implementation of the BCPNN. READ MORE

5. Spiking Reinforcement Learning for Robust Robot Control Under Varying Operating Conditions
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : Over the last few years, deep reinforcement learning (RL) has gained increasing popularity for its successful application to a variety of complex control and decision-making tasks. As the demand for deep RL algorithms deployed in challenging real-world environments grows, their robustness towards uncertainty, disturbances and perturbations of the environment becomes more and more important.
