A simulator for the analysis of neuronal ensemble activity: application to reaching tasks
نویسندگان
چکیده
A biologically based, multi-cortical computational model was developed to investigate how ensembles of neurons learn to execute a three-dimensional reaching task. The model produces outputs of spike trains that can be analyzed using a variety of multivariate analysis tools. Simulations show that after learning, the model neurons exhibit broad directional tuning that depend on the de3ned muscle directions of the simulated arm, and that these neurons form functional clusters within cortical areas. The utility of the model is demonstrated by testing arm movement prediction strategies using ensemble activity. c © 2002 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.

Application of ensemble learning techniques to model the atmospheric concentration of SO2
In view of pollution prediction modeling, the study adopts homogenous (random forest, bagging, and additive regression) and heterogeneous (voting) ensemble classifiers to predict the atmospheric concentration of Sulphur dioxide. For model validation, results were compared against widely known single base classifiers such as support vector machine, multilayer perceptron, linear regression and re...

متن کاملMicroinfusion of Bupropion Inhibits Putative GABAergic Neuronal Activity of the Ventral Tegmental Area
Introduction: The most common interpretation for the mechanisms of antidepression is the increase of the brain monoamine levels such as dopamine (DA). The increase of DA can reduce depression but it can also decrease the monoamine release because of autoreceptor inhibition. Although bupropion can decrease the dopamine release, there is evidence about stimulatory effects of chronic application o...
