Quantitative properties of the creation and activation of a cell-intrinsic duration-encoding engram

The engram encoding the interval between the conditional stimulus (CS) and the unconditional stimulus (US) in eyeblink conditioning resides within a small population of cerebellar Purkinje cells. CSs activate this engram to produce a pause in the spontaneous firing rate of the cell, which times the CS-conditional blink. We developed a Bayesian algorithm that finds pause onsets and offsets in the records from individual CS-alone trials. We find that the pause consists of a single unusually long...

A comparative analysis of masking empirical mode decomposition and a neural network with feed-forward and back propagation along with masking empirical mode decomposition to improve the classification performance for a reliable brain-computer interface

In general, extraction and classification are used in various fields like image processing, pattern recognition, signal processing, and so on. Extracting effective characteristics from raw electroencephalogram (EEG) signals is a crucial role of the brain-computer interface for motor imagery. Recently, there has been a great deal of focus on motor imagery in the EEG signals since they encode a person's intent to do an action. Researchers have been using MI signals to assist paralyzed people and...

Disinhibitory circuit mediated by connections from vasoactive intestinal polypeptide to somatostatin interneurons underlies the paradoxical decrease in spike synchrony with increased border ownership selective neuron firing rate

The activity of border ownership selective (BOS) neurons in intermediate-level visual areas indicates which side of a contour owns a border relative to its classical receptive field and provides a fundamental component of figure-ground segregation. A physiological study reported that selective attention facilitates the activity of BOS neurons with a consistent border ownership preference, defined as two neurons tuned to respond to the same visual object. However, spike synchrony between this...

Light-efficient channel attention in convolutional neural networks for tic recognition in the children with tic disorders

Tic is a combination of a series of static facial and limb movements over a certain period in some children. However, due to the scarcity of tic disorder (TD) datasets, the existing work on tic recognition using deep learning does not work well. It is that spatial complexity and time-domain variability directly affect the accuracy of tic recognition. How to extract effective visual information for temporal and spatial expression and classification of tic movement is the key of tic recognition....

Invariance of object detection in untrained deep neural networks

The ability to perceive visual objects with various types of transformations, such as rotation, translation, and scaling, is crucial for consistent object recognition. In machine learning, invariant object detection for a network is often implemented by augmentation with a massive number of training images, but the mechanism of invariant object detection in biological brains-how invariance arises initially and whether it requires visual experience-remains elusive. Here, using a model neural...

A computational classification method of breast cancer images using the VGGNet model

Cancer is one of the most prevalent diseases worldwide. The most prevalent condition in women when aberrant cells develop out of control is breast cancer. Breast cancer detection and classification are exceedingly difficult tasks. As a result, several computational techniques, including k-nearest neighbor (KNN), support vector machine (SVM), multilayer perceptron (MLP), decision tree (DT), and genetic algorithms, have been applied in the current computing world for the diagnosis and...
