Background/Introduction: In this paper, the neural network class of Self-Organising Maps (SOMs) is investigated in terms of its theoretical and applied validity for cognitive modelling, particularly o…
Biological and artificial learning systems alike confront the plasticity-stability dilemma. In the brain, neuromodulators such as acetylcholine and noradrenaline relieve this tension by tuning neurona…
A beginning is made at mapping four neural theories of consciousness onto the Common Model of Cognition. This highlights how the four jointly depend on recurrent local modules plus a cognitive cycle o…
Epilepsy is a prevalent neurological disease with millions of patients worldwide. Many patients have turned to alternative medicine due to the limited efficacy and side effects of conventional antiepi…
Dreams offer a unique window into the cognitive and affective dynamics of the sleeping and the waking mind. Recent quantitative linguistic approaches have shown promise in obtaining corpus-level measu…
Recent progress in the fields of AI and cognitive sciences opens up new challenges that were previously inaccessible to study. One of such modern tasks is recovering lost data of one modality by using…
This work reviews the human auditory system, elucidating some of the specialized mechanisms and non-linear pathways along the chain of events between physical sound and its perception. Customary relat…
Autism spectrum disorder(ASD) is a lifelong neurodevelopmental condition that affects social communication and behavior. Investigating functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)-based brain function…
Social hierarchy in animal groups carries a crucial adaptive function by reducing conflict and injury while protecting valuable group resources. Social hierarchy is dynamic and can be altered by socia…
We present a model of the primary visual cortex V1, guided by anatomical experiments. Unlike most machine learning systems our goal is not to maximize accuracy but to realize a system more aligned to …
In this paper, we investigate the brain activity elicited during perception of animated shapes as stimuli, which have been found to evoke mental state attributions. Contrary to a previous study, we in…
A thorough understanding of the neuroanatomy of peripheral nerves is required for a better insight into their function and the development of neuromodulation tools and strategies. In biophysical model…
In the study of biological networks, one of the major challenges is to understand the relationships between network structure and dynamics. In this paper, we model in vitro cortical neuronal cultures …
A data set of recorded single played tones of a concert grand piano is investigated using Machine Learning (ML) on psychoacoustic timbre features. The examined instrument has been recorded at two stag…
Long-range temporal coherence (LRTC) is quite common to dynamic systems and is fundamental to the system function. LRTC in the brain has been shown to be important to cognition. Assessing LRTC may pro…
Individual grip force profiling of bimanual simulator task performance of experts and novices using a robotic control device designed for endoscopic surgery permits defining benchmark criteria that te…
Relating explicit psychological mechanisms and observable behaviours is a central aim of psychological and behavioural science. We implemented the principles of the Projective Consciousness Model into…
Vision is known to improve human postural responses to external perturbations. This study investigates the role of vision for the responses to continuous pseudorandom support surface translations in t…
Symmetry in biological and physical systems is a product of self organization driven by evolutionary processes, or mechanical systems under constraints. Symmetry based feature extrac-tion or represent…
The focus of the efforts for defining and modelling emotion is broadly shifting from classical definite marker theory to statistically context situated conceptual theory. However, the role of context …
