We investigate the possibility that narrowband oscillations may emerge from completely asynchronous, independent neural firing. We find that a population of asynchronous neurons may produce narrowband oscillations if each neuron fires…
The rate coding response of a single peripheral sensory neuron in the asymptotic, near-equilibrium limit can be derived using information theory, asymptotic Bayesian statistics and a theory of complex systems. Almost no biological knowledge…
Many physical, chemical and biological processes rely on intrinsic oscillations to employ resonance responses to external stimuli of certain frequency. Such resonance phenomena in biological systems are typically explained by one of two…
Excessively high, neural synchronisation has been associated with epileptic seizures, one of the most common brain diseases worldwide. A better understanding of neural synchronisation mechanisms can thus help control or even treat epilepsy.…
We study analytically the dynamics of a network of sparsely connected inhibitory integrate-and-fire neurons in a regime where individual neurons emit spikes irregularly and at a low rate. In the limit when the number of neurons N tends to…
Large-eddy simulations of a flat-plate boundary layer, without a leading edge, subject to multiple levels of incoming free stream turbulence are considered in the present work. Within an input-output model where non-linear terms of the…
Understanding cognitive processes in the brain demands sophisticated models capable of replicating neural dynamics at large scales. We present a physiologically inspired speech recognition architecture, compatible and scalable with deep…
Intrinsic brain activity is characterized by highly structured co-activations between different regions, whose origin is still under debate. In this paper, we address the question whether it is possible to unveil how the underlying…
Neurons in the brain behave as non-linear oscillators, which develop rhythmic activity and interact to process information. Taking inspiration from this behavior to realize high density, low power neuromorphic computing will require huge…
Nonlinear systems driven by recurrent signals are known to exhibit complex dynamical responses which, in the physiological context, can have important functional consequences. One of the simplest biological systems that is exposed to such…
Organisms are equipped with regulatory systems that display a variety of dynamical behaviours ranging from simple stable steady states, to switching and multistability, to oscillations. Earlier work has shown that oscillations in protein…
Neurons are subject to various kinds of noise. In addition to synaptic noise, the stochastic opening and closing of ion channels represents an intrinsic source of noise that affects the signal processing properties of the neuron. In this…
In a generic neuron model, we present the linear response theory for the firing rate in response to both time dependent input currents and noise amplitudes. In both cases the signal transmission is strongly attenuated for frequencies above…
Two trains of light pulses at periods that are equally shifted from the harmonics of a missing fundamental, are combined in a nonlinear crystal. As a result of a noncollinear phase matched second order nonlinear generation, a new train of…
We analyze the control of frequency for a synchronized inhibitory neuronal network. The analysis is done for a reduced membrane model with a biophysically-based synaptic influence. We argue that such a reduced model can quantitatively…
The spiking activity of neocortical neurons exhibits a striking level of variability, even when these networks are driven by identical stimuli. The approximately Poisson firing of neurons has led to the hypothesis that these neural networks…
Due to the limitations of Moore's Law and the increasing demand of computing, optical neural network (ONNs) are gradually coming to the stage as an alternative to electrical neural networks. The control of nonlinear activation functions in…
Neuronal responses are conspicuously variable. We focus on one particular aspect of that variability: the precision of action potential timing. We show that for common models of noisy spike generation, elementary considerations imply that…
Nonlinear damping, the change in damping rate with the amplitude of oscillations plays an important role in many electrical, mechanical and even biological oscillators. In novel technologies such as carbon nanotubes, graphene membranes or…
Fluidic iontronics is emerging as a distinctive platform for implementing neuromorphic circuits, characterized by its reliance on the same aqueous medium and ionic signal carriers as the brain. Drawing upon recent theoretical advancements…
