Modelling the interaction of attention and emotion
We review a recently developed engineering control approach to attention. The control system is extended to include biasing by emotional valence, with qualitative analysis given of...

Computational and neural mechanisms of task switching
Switching between tasks that overlap in perceptual and response characteristics is assumed to rely upon the maintenance of task representations in prefrontal cortex (PFC). However...

A self-organizing map with homeostatic synaptic scaling
Hebbian learning has been a staple of neural-network models for many years. It is well known that the most straight-forward implementations of this popular learning rule lead to u...

Spatiotemporal clustering of synchronized bursting events in neuronal networks
in vitro neuronal networks display Synchronized Bursting Events (SBEs), with characteristic temporal width of 100-500 ms and frequency of once every few seconds. We analyze such d...

Robust persistent activity in neural fields with asymmetric connectivity
Modeling studies have shown that recurrent interactions within neural networks are capable of self-sustaining non-uniform activity profiles. These patterns are thought to be the n...

A neurocomputational model of stochastic resonance and aging
Stochastic resonance (SR) is fundamental to physical and biological processes. Here, we use a stochastic gain-tuning model to investigate interactions between aging-related increa...

Collective plasticity and individual stability in cultured neuronal networks
Cultured neuronal networks generate spontaneous activity in the form of synchronized bursting events (SBEs)--short time events during which most of the recorded neurons fire rapid...

Spatio-temporal dynamics in fMRI recordings revealed with complex independent component analysis
Abstract. Independent component analysis (ICA) of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data is commonly carried out under the assumption that each source may be represented...

A segmentation algorithm for zebra finch song at the note level
Songbirds have been widely used as a model for studying neuronal circuits that relate to vocal learning and production. An important component of this research relies on quantitat...

Extraction of a source signal whose kurtosis value lies in a specific range
In many applications extraction of source signals of interest from observed signals maybe is a more feasible approach than simultaneous separation of all the source signals, since...
