The dynamics of three mutually coupled cortical neurons with time delays in the coupling are explored numerically and analytically. The neurons are coupled in a line, with the middle neuron sending a somewhat stronger projection to the…
Musical audio is generally composed of three physical properties: frequency, time and magnitude. Interestingly, human auditory periphery also provides neural codes for each of these dimensions to perceive music. Inspired by these intrinsic…
The brain is hierarchically organized to process sensory signals. But, to what extent do functional connections within and across areas shape this hierarchical order? We addressed this problem in the thalamocortical network, while monkeys…
Empirical studies over the past two decades have supported the hypothesis that schizophrenia is characterized by altered connectivity patterns in functional brain networks. These alterations have been proposed as genetically-mediated…
Recent analyses combining advanced theoretical techniques and high-quality data from thousands of simultaneously recorded neurons provide strong support for the hypothesis that neural dynamics operate near the edge of instability across…
Alterations in structural brain laterality are reported in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). However, few studies examined differences within presentations of ADHD. We investigate asymmetry index (AI) across 13 subcortical…
An auditory neuron can preserve the temporal fine structure of a low-frequency tone by phase-locking its response to the stimulus. Apart from sound localization, however, little is known about the role of this temporal information for…
Neural synchronization is believed to be critical for many brain functions. It frequently exhibits temporal variability, but it is not known if this variability has a specific temporal patterning. This study explores these…
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a neuroimaging technique known for its ability to capture brain activity non-invasively and at fine spatial resolution (2-3mm). Cortical surface fMRI (cs-fMRI) is a recent development of fMRI…
Electrophysiological brain signals, such as electroencephalography (EEG), exhibit both periodic and aperiodic components, with the latter often modeled as 1/f noise and considered critical to cognitive and neurological processes. Although…
From a machine learning perspective, the human ability localize sounds can be modeled as a non-parametric and non-linear regression problem between binaural spectral features of sound received at the ears (input) and their sound-source…
Neural field theory is used to quantitatively analyze the two-dimensional spatiotemporal correlation properties of gamma-band (30 -- 70 Hz) oscillations evoked by stimuli arriving at the primary visual cortex (V1), and modulated by patchy…
Numerical calculations have been made on the spike-train response of a pair of Hodgkin-Huxley (HH) neurons coupled by synapses and axons with time delay. The recurrent excitatory-excitatory, inhibitory-inhibitory, excitatory-inhibitory, and…
First-episode schizophrenia (FES) results in abnormality of brain connectivity at different levels. Despite some successful findings on functional and structural connectivity of FES, relatively few studies have been focused on morphological…
The Blood-Oxygen-Level-Dependent (BOLD) signal of resting-state fMRI (rs-fMRI) records the temporal dynamics of intrinsic functional networks in the brain. However, existing deep learning methods applied to rs-fMRI either neglect the…
Neural correlations during a cognitive task are central to study brain information processing and computation. However, they have been poorly analyzed due to the difficulty of recording simultaneous single neurons during task performance.…
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurological condition characterized by varied developmental impairments, especially in communication and social interaction. Accurate and early diagnosis of ASD is crucial for effective…
The diverse perceptual consequences of hearing loss severely impede speech communication, but standard clinical audiometry, which is focused on threshold-based frequency sensitivity, does not adequately capture deficits in frequency and…
We investigate in-context temporal biases in attention heads and transformer outputs. Using cognitive science methodologies, we analyze attention scores and outputs of the GPT-2 models of varying sizes. Across attention heads, we observe…
The superior temporal gyrus (STG) region of cortex critically contributes to speech recognition. In this work, we show that a proposed WaveNet, with limited available data, is able to reconstruct speech stimuli from STG intracranial…
