1. 1. Regression with Bayesian Confidence Propagating Neural Networks

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

   Author : Raghav Rajendran Bongole; [2023]
   Keywords : Machine Learning; Neural Networks; Brain-like computing; Bayesian Confidence Propagating Neural Networks; Maskininlärning; neurala nätverk; hjärnliknande datorer; Bayesian Förtroendespridande neurala nätverk;

   Abstract : Bayesian Confidence Propagating Neural Networks (BCPNNs) are biologically inspired artificial neural networks. These networks have been modeled to account for brain-like aspects such as modular architecture, divisive normalization, sparse connectivity, and Hebbian learning. READ MORE

3. 2. Volumetric Image Segmentation of Lizard Brains

   University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysik

   Author : Yulia Dragunova; [2023]
   Keywords : image segmentation; deep learning; atlas; lizard brain; micro-CT; image augmentation; bild segmentering; djupinlärning; atlas; ödelhjärna; mikro-datortomagrofi; datautökning;

   Abstract : Accurate measurement brain region volumes are important in studying brain plasticity, which brings insight into the fundamental mechanisms in animal, memory, cognitive, and behavior research. The traditional methods of brain volume measurements are ellipsoid or histology. READ MORE

4. 3. The Impact of Motor Imagery on Sport Performance and the Brain's Plasticity

   University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

   Author : Johanna Lingvall; [2019]
   Keywords : Motor imagery; mental imagery; brain plasticity; sport performance;

   Abstract : New neuroimaging techniques have made it possible to examine imagery and found evidence for that imagery share similar neural correlates as in perception. Imagery can be used in different areas to enhance performance, and it is a popular technique in sports. Similar to physical practice (PP), motor imagery (MI) can result in brain plasticity.

5. 4. Neuroplasticity induced by exercise

   University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

   Author : Sebastian Abrahamsson; [2017]
   Keywords : brain plasticity; experience-induced plasticity; beneficial effects;

   Abstract : As opposed to earlier beliefs, the brain is altering itself throughout an individual’s life. The process of functional or structural alterations is referred to as plasticity, and can be induced by several factors such as experience or physical exercise. READ MORE

6. 5. Reducing cognitive biases through meditation - Neuroscientific evidence and a model of human capital investment with heterogeneous individuals

   University essay from Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för nationalekonomi

   Author : Moritz-Christian Meyer; [2016]
   Keywords : Human Capital Investment; Brain Plasticity; Cognitive Bias; Meditation;

   Abstract : The neuroscientific discovery of brain plasticity indicates that it is possible to improve the performance of certain brain areas by engaging in different kinds of training. Since the literature on human capital has not yet taken into account this kind of investment, this thesis attempts to fill this void by focusing in particular on overcoming cognitive biases. READ MORE
