The Grand Challenge for Psychology: Integrate and Fire!
نویسنده
چکیده
Is psychology a scientifi c discipline of its own? Or is it the case, as Scott (1991) upheld, that “Psychology lacks a clear identity”? The latter is certainly the impression one gets reading Ludin (1979), who, in his opus titled “Theories and Systems of Psychology”, describes the emergence of psychology over the 20th century with retrospectively comical words that would perhaps best be used to describe how hunter-gatherers got together to form tribes:

Memristor Bridge Synapse Application for Integrate and Fire and Hodgkin-Huxley Neuron Cell
Memory resistor or memristor is already fabricated successfully using current nano dimension technology. Based on its unique hysteresis, the amount of resistance remains constant over time, controlled by the time, the amplitude, and the polarity of the applied voltage. The unique hysteretic current-voltage characteristic in the memristor causes this element to act as a non-volatile resistive me...
متن کاملP97: Comparison of Post-Traumatic Syndrome Disorder (PTSD) in War-Affected and Fire-Damaged People
The purpose of this study was to compare symptoms of PTSD among war affected people and employees in the fire station. Totally, 60 people affected by war and 60 fire workers were selected using simple random sampling. By completing PCL inventory, samples of PTSD were characterized. Data was analysed through SPSS software by independent t-test. As the results showed, severity of PTSD symptoms am...
متن کاملMultisimulations: Towards Next Generation Integrated Simulation Environments
In this paper, we consider the challenge of designing a reflective middleware to integrate multiple autonomous simulation models into an integrated simulation environment (multiasimulation) wherein we can model and execute complex scenarios involving multiple simulators. One of the limitations of the simulators is that they are developed by domain experts who have an in-depth understanding of t...
متن کاملRobust Modulation of Integrate-and-Fire Models.
By controlling the state of neuronal populations, neuromodulators ultimately affect behavior. A key neuromodulation mechanism is the alteration of neuronal excitability via the modulation of ion channel expression. This type of neuromodulation is normally studied with conductance-based models, but those models are computationally challenging for large-scale network simulations needed in populat...
متن کاملA Grand Convergence in Mortality is Possible: Comment on Global Health 2035
The grand challenge in global health is the inequality in mortality and life expectancy between countries and within countries. According to Global Health 2035, the Lancet Commission celebrating the 20th anniversary of the World Development Report (WDR) of 1993, the world now has the unique opportunity to achieve a grand convergence in global mortality within a generation. This article comments...
