Neuroscience and Information theory
Information theory has been introduced as a mathematical framework that can be used in many fields that encounter statistical and random data analysis. One important field of interest in the biological sciences is neuroscience. This paper gives a slight introduction about some utilities of information theory in solving problems that encounter neuroscience research.
متن کاملInformation Theory and Neuroscience
Neuroscience is the study of the structure and function of the brain and the nervous system and their interactions and relationships to other physiological systems and biological phenomena. The field is vast, ever-expanding, and spans an enormous range of inquiry, including investigations into the subcellular mechanisms that subserve neuronal function, studies involving interactions among group...
متن کاملGame Theory in Neuroscience
Decisions made during social interaction are complex due to the inherent uncertainty about their outcomes, which are jointly determined by the actions of the decision maker and others. Game theory, a mathematical analysis of such interdependent decision making, provides a computational framework to extract core components of complex social situations and to analyze decision making in terms of t...
متن کاملA primer on information theory, with applications to neuroscience
Given the constant rise in quantity and quality of data obtained from neural systems on many scales ranging from molecular to systems’, information-theoretic analyses became increasingly necessary during the past few decades in the neurosciences. Such analyses can provide deep insights into the functionality of such systems, as well as a rigid mathematical theory and quantitative measures of in...
متن کاملTheory and simulation in neuroscience.
Modeling work in neuroscience can be classified using two different criteria. The first one is the complexity of the model, ranging from simplified conceptual models that are amenable to mathematical analysis to detailed models that require simulations in order to understand their properties. The second criterion is that of direction of workflow, which can be from microscopic to macroscopic sca...
