  1. 16. Functional and Dynamical Consequences of Long-Range Patchy Connections in the Primary Visual Cortex

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

    Author : Leo Laurenz Zeitler; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : While it is a known fact that higher mammals develop a differently structured primary visual cortex than rodents, the reason for this phenomenon remains unknown. Eutherian species that rely primarily on vision establish long-range patchy connections between locally clustered neurons. READ MORE

  3. 17. Assessment of the circadian stimulus potential of an integrative lighting system in an office area

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

    Abstract : Nowadays, people spend 90% of their time indoors, thus creating a healthy indoor environment for occupants is of great importance. Lighting in office spaces is an important aspect when it comes to occupant health and well-being. READ MORE

  4. 18. Simulating Facilitation in a Spiking Neural Network

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i molekylärbiologi

    Author : Alexander Kuzmin; [2020]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Many insects are able to detect, isolate and track small targets that move quickly against a dynamic background. This ability is enabled by a group of neurons called small target motion detectors (STMD). These neurons, among other properties, have a type of short term memory called response facilitation.

  5. 19. Lighting Evaluation and Design for the Stockholm Metro System Based on Current Models for Non-visual Responses

    University essay from KTH/Ljusdesign

    Author : Tong Liu; [2020]
    Keywords : Non-visual Effects; Circadian Lighting; Equivalent Melanopic Lux EML ; Circadian Stimulus CS ; Melanopic Equivalent Daylight Illuminance M-EDI ; Stockholm Metro System; Light-Emitting Diode LED ;

    Abstract : Light has a wide and profound non-visual impact on the human body. It is related to the suppression or synthesis of a hormone called melatonin which regulates the human circadian clock. In Nordic countries like Sweden, lack of natural light in winter may lead to negative health effects such as circadian disorders or depression. READ MORE

  6. 20. To see or not to see the error of one´s ways : Consciousness and the Error-Related Negativity

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Noah Kaufman; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The error-related negativity (ERN) is a widely-used electrophysiological measure of error processing in the brain. Whether the ERN supports conscious awareness of erring has yet to be determined. READ MORE
