The Cluster Variation Method: A Primer for Neuroscientists
Effective Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) require that the time-varying activation patterns of 2-D neural ensembles be modelled. The cluster variation method (CVM) offers a means for the characterization of 2-D local pattern distributions. This paper provides neuroscientists and BCI researchers with a CVM tutorial that will help them to understand how the CVM statistical thermodynamics formula...
متن کاملA Primer for Method Engineering
The area of method engineering has emerged in response to an increasing feeling that methods are not well suited to the needs of their users, the application engineers. Method engineering aims at developing methods. The paper uses the four worlds framework to investigate the subject of method engineering. It presents a state-of-art survey with a view to identifying the important problems and re...
متن کاملNovel iteration schemes for the Cluster Variation Method
The Cluster Variation method is a class of approximation methods containing the Bethe and Kikuchi approximations as special cases. We derive two novel iteration schemes for the Cluster Variation Method. One is a fixed point iteration scheme which gives a significant improvement over loopy BP, mean field and TAP methods on directed graphical models. The other is a gradient based method, that is ...
متن کاملNEURON: a tool for neuroscientists.
NEURON is a simulation environment for models of individual neurons and networks of neurons that are closely linked to experimental data. NEURON provides tools for conveniently constructing, exercising, and managing models, so that special expertise in numerical methods or programming is not required for its productive use. This article describes two tools that address the problem of how to ach...
متن کاملDREADDs for Neuroscientists
To understand brain function, it is essential that we discover how cellular signaling specifies normal and pathological brain function. In this regard, chemogenetic technologies represent valuable platforms for manipulating neuronal and non-neuronal signal transduction in a cell-type-specific fashion in freely moving animals. Designer Receptors Exclusively Activated by Designer Drugs (DREADD)-b...
