  1. 21. Comparison of Hebbian Learning and Backpropagation for Image Classification in Convolutional Neural Networks

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

    Author : Teodor Morfeldt Gadler; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Current commonly used image recognition convolutional neural networks share some similarities with the human brain. However, the differences are many and the well established backpropagation learning algorithm is not biologically plausible. READ MORE

  3. 22. Neural correlates of pragmatic processing in adolescents

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för lingvistik

    Author : Christoffer Forbes Schieche; [2023]
    Keywords : Adolescence; cognitive control functions; fMRI; pragmatics; theory of mind; fMRI; kognitiv kontroll; mentalisering; pragmatik; tonåringar;

    Abstract : Understanding indirect speech, i.e., when an utterance does not match the intended meaning, is one of many pragmatic abilities at play in conversation. While the development of pragmatic abilities starts early, they continually develop throughout adolescence although this period is understudied. READ MORE

  4. 23. Developing a portable, customizable, single-channel EEG device for homecare and validating it against a commercial EEG device

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

    Author : Máté Károly Tóth; [2023]
    Keywords : Electroencephalography EEG ; Portable EEG; Single-channel EEG; Commercial EEG; Brain-machine interface; Prototype development; Elektroencefalografi EEG ; Bärbar EEG; Enkanaligt EEG; Kommersiellt EEG; Hjärna-maskin-gränssnitt; Prototyputveckling;

    Abstract : There are several commercial electroencephalography (EEG) devices on the market; however, affordable devices are not versatile for diverse research applications. The purpose of this project was to investigate how to develop a low-cost, portable, single-channel EEG system for a research institute that could be used for neurofeedback-related applications in homecare.

  5. 24. Evaluating Brain-Inspired Machine Learning Models for Time Series Forecasting: A Comparative Study on Dynamical Memory in Reservoir Computing and Neural Networks

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

    Author : Eddie Nevander Hellström; Johan Slettengren; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Brain-inspired computing is a promising research field, with potential to encouragebreakthroughs within machine learning and enable us to solve complex problems in a moreefficient way. This study aims to compare the performance of brain-like machine learningalgorithms for time series forecasting. READ MORE

  6. 25. The Quantitative Expression of Transport Proteins SLC38A1-11 in Nerve Cell Development

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för farmaceutisk biovetenskap

    Keywords : SLC38A1; SNAT1; SLC38A2; SNAT2; SLC38A3; SNAT3; SLC38A4; SNAT4; SLC38A5; SNAT5; SLC38A6; SNAT6; SLC38A7; SNAT7; SLC38A8; SNAT8; SLC38A9; SNAT9; SLC38A10; SNAT10; SLC38A11; SNAT11; SLC; SLC38; SNATs; SNAT; RT-qPCR; GABA; glutamine; glutamate;

    Abstract : Solute carriers consist of over 400 genes and 66 subfamilies and are the largest group of membrane bound transporters. They facilitate movement of many molecules through cells and organelles and are crucial for upholding many key functions in the human body. They are also involved in the pathophysiology of several diseases. READ MORE
