Information-Theoretic Analysis of Turtle Cortical Waves
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we describe two approaches to the problem of encoding cortical waves of turtle visual cortex. The first approach relies on representing the response of individual pyramidal cells using various temporal scales (multiresolution analysis). In the second approach, we consider decomposing the visual cortex into various spatial grids. Each of these spatial grid contains several neurons and the Kullback-Leibler distance between the spiking patterns in response to different stimuli is computed. Such distance measure, we hope, would eventually be used to detect the stimuli.

Information on the genetic structure of marine species is essential for stock improvement programs. In orderto analyses the genetic diversity of the Hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricte) by the microsatellite geneticmethod, 64 samples were caught from the beaches located in Kish and Qeshm islands. Polymerase chainreactions (PCR) of genomic DNA extracted from the samples wer...
متن کاملCombination of real options and game-theoretic approach in investment analysis
Investments in technology create a large amount of capital investments by major companies. Assessing such investment projects is identified as critical to the efficient assignment of resources. Viewing investment projects as real options, this paper expands a method for assessing technology investment decisions in the linkage existence of uncertainty and competition. It combines the game-theore...
متن کاملSynchronization in monkey visual cortex analyzed with an information-theoretic measure.
We apply an information-theoretic measure for phase synchrony to local field potentials (LFPs) [corrected] recorded with a multi-electrode array implanted in area V4 of the monkey visual cortex. We show for the first time statistically significant stimulus-dependent synchrony of the visual cortical LFPs and this during different, short time intervals of the response. Furthermore, we could compu...
متن کاملDirect evidence for local oscillatory current sources and intracortical phase gradients in turtle visual cortex.
Visual stimuli induce oscillations in the membrane potential of neurons in cortices of several species. In turtle, these oscillations take the form of linear and circular traveling waves. Such waves may be a consequence of a pacemaker that emits periodic pulses of excitation that propagate across a network of excitable neuronal tissue or may result from continuous and possibly reconfigurable ph...
