  1. 1. Neural Analysis of Juvenile Songbirds : Analysis of context dependent change in the trial-by-trial variability of spiking activity recorded from song birds

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Elliot Seymour; Ahmad Hussaein; [2021]
    Keywords : Songbirds; Neuron spiking; Spiking rates; Learning; Joint Spiking Events; Fano factor;

    Abstract : Previous studies have shown that it is possible for juvenile songbirds to learn songs through listening to prerecorded songs played back to them. What is not known however, is how this will differ from normal learning, both on neural level as well as on the bird as whole. READ MORE

  2. 2. Fantastic spiking neural networks and how to train them

    University essay from

    Author : David Weinberg; [2021]
    Keywords : Machine learning; Spiking neural network;

    Abstract : Spiking neural networks are a new generation of neural networks that use neuronal models that are more biologically plausible than the typically used perceptron model. They do not use analog values to perform computations, as is the case in regular neural networks, but rely on spatio-temporal information encoded into sequences of delta-functions known as spike trains.

  3. 3. Measurement of timescales of cortical neuronal activity in behaving mice

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Sasa Lekic; [2021]
    Keywords : Neural activity; prefrontal cortex; visual cortex; Timescale; Spike trains; Functional hierarchy; Neural aktivitet; PFC; Timescale; Spike train; Funktionell hierarki;

    Abstract : Electrical activity is omnipresent throughout the brain, and it varies dependant on the brain region. Areal hierarchy has been suggested to be one of the main principles of the organization of the brain, but there is not a lot of evidence available related to the specialization of the brain’s regions in the temporal domain, that is, how the activity evolves over time.

  4. 4. Function of Cerebellar Microcircuitry within a Closed-loop System during Control and Adaptation

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för reglerteknik

    Author : Anton Spanne; [2011]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The human motor control is both robust and stable, despite large delays and highly complex motor systems with an abundance of actuators, sensors and degrees of freedom. The cerebellum is thought help accomplish this by compensating for external loads and internal limitations and disturbances through adaptation, creating inverse models of the motor system dynamics.

  5. 5. Analysis and Simulation of Cerebellar Circuitry

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för reglerteknik

    Author : Jonas Dürango; [2010]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The cerebellum, a fist-sized structure of the brain, plays a crucial part in the execution and coordination of motor control tasks and cognitive activities. It is also remarkably able to adapt itself to new tasks and circumstances whenever errors in motor output are made. READ MORE
