Neural codes: firing rates and beyond.
Computational neuroscience has contributed significantly to our understanding of higher brain function by combining experimental neurobiology, psychophysics, modeling, and mathematical analysis. This article reviews recent advances in a key area: neural coding and information processing. It is shown that synapses are capable of supporting computations based on highly structured temporal codes. ...
متن کاملNeural Networks with Low Local Firing Rates
Neural network models of associative memory with uniform inhibition are studied. It is shown that for sufficiently strong inhibition the system orders only partially even at low temperatures. A fraction of the neurons freezes in a quiescent state while the activities of the rest of the neurons fluctuate in time around an average level that is small compared to the saturation level. These models...
متن کاملMethods for estimating neural firing rates, and their application to brain-machine interfaces
Neural spike trains present analytical challenges due to their noisy, spiking nature. Many studies of neuroscientific and neural prosthetic importance rely on a smoothed, denoised estimate of a spike train's underlying firing rate. Numerous methods for estimating neural firing rates have been developed in recent years, but to date no systematic comparison has been made between them. In this stu...
متن کاملEffect of firing temperature on the properties of inorganic high temperature phosphate adhesive
High-temperature adhesives are considered for high-temperature applications such as the refractory industry. In this research, inorganic high-temperature phosphate-based adhesive was prepared using alumina and micro silica as the main raw materials and monoaluminum phosphate as a binder. The effect of firing temperature on the properties of the adhesive including phases, microstructure, compres...
متن کاملThermodynamic constraints on seismic inversions
S U M M A R Y We discuss two types of physical constraints derived from thermodynamics that can be applied during seismic inversions. The first constraint involves assimilating heat-flow measurements in seismic inversions. This can improve seismic models beneath continents, particularly beneath cratons and continental platforms where uncertainties in crustal radioactive heat production and the ...
