Alleviating the medical strain: a triage method via cross-domain text classification
It is a universal phenomenon for patients who do not know which clinical department to register in large general hospitals. Although triage nurses can help patients, due to the larger number of patients, they have to stand in a queue for minutes to consult. Recently, there have already been some efforts to devote deep-learning techniques or pre-trained language models (PLMs) to triage recommendations. However, these methods may suffer two main limitations: (1) These methods typically require a...

Learning delays through gradients and structure: emergence of spatiotemporal patterns in spiking neural networks
We present a Spiking Neural Network (SNN) model that incorporates learnable synaptic delays through two approaches: per-synapse delay learning via Dilated Convolutions with Learnable Spacings (DCLS) and a dynamic pruning strategy that also serves as a form of delay learning. In the latter approach, the network dynamically selects and prunes connections, optimizing the delays in sparse connectivity settings. We evaluate both approaches on the Raw Heidelberg Digits keyword spotting benchmark using...

Multimodal consumer choice prediction using EEG signals and eye tracking
Marketing plays a vital role in the success of a business, driving customer engagement, brand recognition, and revenue growth. Neuromarketing adds depth to this by employing insights into consumer behavior through brain activity and emotional responses to create more effective marketing strategies. Electroencephalogram (EEG) has typically been utilized by researchers for neuromarketing, whereas Eye Tracking (ET) has remained unexplored. To address this gap, we propose a novel multimodal approach...

Memory consolidation from a reinforcement learning perspective
Memory consolidation refers to the process of converting temporary memories into long-lasting ones. It is widely accepted that new experiences are initially stored in the hippocampus as rapid associative memories, which then undergo a consolidation process to establish more permanent traces in other regions of the brain. Over the past two decades, studies in humans and animals have demonstrated that the hippocampus is crucial not only for memory but also for imagination and future planning, with...

Global remapping emerges as the mechanism for renewal of context-dependent behavior in a reinforcement learning model
INTRODUCTION: The hippocampal formation exhibits complex and context-dependent activity patterns and dynamics, e.g., place cell activity during spatial navigation in rodents or remapping of place fields when the animal switches between contexts. Furthermore, rodents show context-dependent renewal of extinguished behavior. However, the link between context-dependent neural codes and context-dependent renewal is not fully understood.

Automated karyogram analysis for early detection of genetic and neurodegenerative disorders: a hybrid machine learning approach
Anomalous chromosomes are the cause of genetic diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, epilepsy, and autism. Karyotype analysis is the standard procedure for diagnosing genetic disorders. Identifying anomalies is often costly, time-consuming, heavily reliant on expert interpretation, and requires considerable manual effort. Efforts are being made to automate karyogram analysis. However, the unavailability of large datasets, particularly those including samples with chromosomal...

Motion feature extraction using magnocellular-inspired spiking neural networks for drone detection
Traditional object detection methods usually underperform when locating tiny or small drones against complex backgrounds, since the appearance features of the targets and the backgrounds are highly similar. To address this, inspired by the magnocellular motion processing mechanisms, we proposed to utilize the spatial-temporal characteristics of the flying drones based on spiking neural networks, thereby developing the Magno-Spiking Neural Network (MG-SNN) for drone detection. The MG-SNN can...

MUNet: a novel framework for accurate brain tumor segmentation combining UNet and mamba networks
Brain tumors are one of the major health threats to humans, and their complex pathological features and anatomical structures make accurate segmentation and detection crucial. However, existing models based on Transformers and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) still have limitations in medical image processing. While Transformers are proficient in capturing global features, they suffer from high computational complexity and require large amounts of data for training. On the other hand, CNNs...

EEG electrode setup optimization using feature extraction techniques for neonatal sleep state classification
An optimal arrangement of electrodes during data collection is essential for gaining a deeper understanding of neonatal sleep and assessing cognitive health in order to reduce technical complexity and reduce skin irritation risks. Using electroencephalography (EEG) data, a long-short-term memory (LSTM) classifier categorizes neonatal sleep states. An 16,803 30-second segment was collected from 64 infants between 36 and 43 weeks of age at Fudan University Children's Hospital to train and test the...

Time-domain brain: temporal mechanisms for brain functions using time-delay nets, holographic processes, radio communications, and emergent oscillatory sequences
Time is essential for understanding the brain. A temporal theory for realizing major brain functions (e.g., sensation, cognition, motivation, attention, memory, learning, and motor action) is proposed that uses temporal codes, time-domain neural networks, correlation-based binding processes and signal dynamics. It adopts a signal-centric perspective in which neural assemblies produce circulating and propagating characteristic temporally patterned signals for each attribute (feature). Temporal...

Estimation of ionic currents and compensation mechanisms from recursive piecewise assimilation of electrophysiological data
The identification of ion channels expressed in neuronal function and neuronal dynamics is critical to understanding neurological disease. This program calls for advanced parameter estimation methods that infer ion channel properties from the electrical oscillations they induce across the cell membrane. Characterization of the expressed ion channels would allow detecting channelopathies and help devise more effective therapies for neurological and cardiac disease. Here, we describe Recursive...
