We study the capacity of point-to-point erasure networks under a restricted form of network coding to which we refer as spatial network coding. In this form of coding, the nodes can not perform coding on successive packets which are received from one incoming link. The coding at a node is restricted to the packets received at the same time slot from different incoming links...
متن کاملA spiking neural network model of the locust antennal lobe : towards neuromorphic electronic noses inspired from insect olfaction
In analogy with the non-selectivity of gas sensors, an olfactory receptor neuron is not tuned to a specific odor and hence presents a lack of selectivity. Despite this shortcoming, insects have impressive abilities to recognize odors. Understanding how their olfactory system works could then be highly beneficial for designing efficient electronic noses. In particular, the antennal lobe, the fir...
متن کاملModelling efficiency in insect olfactory information processing
The olfactory system of insects is essential for the search of food and mates, and weak signals can be detected, amplified and discriminated in a fluctuating environment. The olfactory system also allows for learning and recall of odour memories. Based on anatomical, physiological, and behavioural data from the olfactory system of insects, we have developed a cross-scale dynamical neural networ...
متن کاملSpatial and temporal organization of ensemble representations for different odor classes in the moth antennal lobe.
In the insect antennal lobe, odor discrimination depends on the ability of the brain to read neural activity patterns across arrays of uniquely identifiable olfactory glomeruli. Less is understood about the complex temporal dynamics and interglomerular interactions that underlie these spatial patterns. Using neural-ensemble recording, we show that the evoked firing patterns within and between g...
متن کاملThe narrowing olfactory landscape of insect odorant receptors
The molecular basis of odorant detection and its corollary, the task of the odorant receptor, are fundamental to understanding olfactory coding and sensory ecology. Based on their molecular receptive range, olfactory receptors have been classified as pheromone and non-pheromone receptors, which are respectively activated by a single pheromone component (“specialist”) or by multiple odorant liga...
