1. 1. Universality and Individuality in Recurrent Networks extended to Biologically inspired networks

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

   Author : Nishant Joshi; [2020]
   Keywords : Recurrent Neural Networks; rate Networks; Fixed Points; Dynamical Systems; Leaky Integrate and Fire; Computational Neuroscience;

   Abstract : Activities in the motor cortex are found to be dynamical in nature. Modeling these activities and comparing them with neural recordings helps in understanding the underlying mechanism for the generation of these activities. For this purpose, Recurrent Neural networks or RNNs, have emerged as an appropriate tool. READ MORE

3. 2. Reality as simulation : A comparative study of the selfmodel theory of subjectivity and biological realism.

   University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

   Author : Laboni Huq; [2015]
   Keywords : consciousness; consciousness studies; virtual-reality; simulation; the self-model theory of subjectivity; biological realism; neurophilosophy.;

   Abstract : The empirical study of consciousness is a young field still in its pre paradigmatic stage and so in need of a unifying framework. This comparative literature review examines two theories of consciousness, Thomas Metzinger’s the self-model theory of subjectivity and Antti Revonsuo’s Biological realism, theories which both try to provide such a framework for the science of consciousness.

4. 3. Implementation and Robustness of Hopfield Networks with Spiking Neurons

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

   Author : Emil Wärnberg; [2014]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Computational models of neural activity and neural networks have been an active area of research as long as there have been computers, and have led several important discoveries in the eld of machine learning. One kind of articial network proposed by John J. Hopeld in 1982 has been among the more successful ones, and is still in active use today. READ MORE

5. 4. Why Human Virtues Obtain in the Natural World

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för teologi och religionsvetenskap

   Author : Jerker Karlsson; [2012]
   Keywords : Naturalism; Virtue-ethics; Weltanschauung; Language game; Aristotle; Philosophy and Religion;

   Abstract : This essay aims to connect naturalism and virtue-ethics to a form of realism about values. The thesis advanced in the essay relies heavily on the Wittgensteinian concepts language-game and weltanschauung as explanatory tools for how values can be both real and unreal, both objective and subjective, both at the same time but not from the same perspective.

6. 5. 3D-dynamic visualization of complex molecular cell biology processes : 1-year university students' understanding of visualizations of signal transduction

   University essay from Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för teknik- och naturvetenskap

   Author : Johan Lars Henrik Jacobsson; [2008]
   Keywords : visualization; animation; molecular; cell; biology; signal; transduction;

   Abstract : This study deals with the use of 3D-dynamic visualizations for teaching complex molecular cell biology concepts. The focus is on signal transduction, which is a concept that constitutes an important part of biological systems. READ MORE
