The brain uses positive signals as a means of signaling. Forward interactions in the early visual cortex are also positive, realized by excitatory synapses. Only local interactions also include inhibition. Non-negative matrix factorization…

This paper proposes a straightforward and cost-effective approach to assess whether a deep neural network (DNN) relies on the primary concepts of training samples or simply learns discriminative, yet simple and irrelevant features that can…

A conventional brain-computer interface (BCI) requires a complete data gathering, training, and calibration phase for each user before it can be used. In recent years, a number of subject-independent (SI) BCIs have been developed. Many of…

Brain-inspired computation and information processing alongside compatibility with neuromorphic hardware have made spiking neural networks (SNN) a promising method for solving learning tasks in machine learning (ML). Spiking neurons are…
