The informational entropy endowed in cortical oscillations

Towards the neural code endowed in cortical microcolumns

Artificial neural systems and nervous graph theoretical analysis rely upon the stance that the neural code is endowed in logic circuits, e.g., spatio-temporal sequences of ON/OFF spiking neurons. Nevertheless, this assumption does not fully explain complex brain functions. Here we show how nervous activity, other than logic circuits, could instead depend on topological transformations and symme...

Informational entropy of Fourier maps.

An analysis on what is known as the interpretation of Fourier maps has been done from the information theory point of view: determining the nature of the peaks in the map (in order to assign them a suitable scattering factor) and allocating bonds between some of the possible peak pairs. Before interpreting the map, a quantitatively measurable entropy (uncertainty, unknowingness) relating to the...

On Entropy Production in Informational Statistical Thermodynamics

We consider the question of the existence of a generalized H-theorem in the context of the variational method in the information-theoretical approach that generates the nonequilibrium statistical operator formalism. After brie y reviewing how the latter provides mechano-statistical foundations for phenomenological irreversible thermodynamics, the socalled Informational Statistical Thermodynamic...

Informational Entropy of Fractal River Networks

Neuronal oscillations in cortical networks.

Clocks tick, bridges and skyscrapers vibrate, neuronal networks oscillate. Are neuronal oscillations an inevitable by-product, similar to bridge vibrations, or an essential part of the brain's design? Mammalian cortical neurons form behavior-dependent oscillating networks of various sizes, which span five orders of magnitude in frequency. These oscillations are phylogenetically preserved, sugge...
