Checking Brain Expertise Using Rough Set Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
Most information about the external world comes from our visual brain. However, it is not clear how this information is processed. We will analyze brain responses using machine learning methods based on rough set theory. We will test the expertise of the visual area V4, which is responsible for shape classifications. Characteristic of each stimulus are treated as a set of learning attributes. We assume that bottom-up information is related to hypotheses, while top-down information is related to predictions. Therefore, neuronal responses are divided into three categories. Category 0 occurs if cell response is below 20 spikes/s (sp/s), indicating that the hypothesis is not valid. Category 1 occurs if cell activity is higher than 20 spikes, implying the hypothesis is valid. Category 2 occurs if cell response is above 40 sp/s; in this case we conclude that the hypothesis and prediction are valid. By using experimental data we make a decision table for each cell, and generate equivalence classes. We express the brains basic concepts by means of the learners basic categories. By approximating stimulus categories with concepts of different cells we determine core properties of cells, and differences between them. On this basis we have created profiles of their receptive field properties.

Traditional approaches to data analysis usually cannot be implemented in sophisticated Companies, where managers ne...
متن کاملTopological structure on generalized approximation space related to n-arry relation
Classical structure of rough set theory was first formulated by Z. Pawlak in [6]. The foundation of its object classification is an equivalence binary relation and equivalence classes. The upper and lower approximation operations are two core notions in rough set theory. They can also be seenas a closure operator and an interior operator of the topology induced by an equivalence relation on a u...

متن کاملA Rough Set based Data Inconsistency Checking Method for Relational Databases
In order to deal with data inconsistency problems in relational databases, a new method based on rough set theory which checks data consistency solely based on data is presented. The inconsistent data that exist under the attribute sets in the relations having possible functional dependencies can be found effectively by applying the suggested rough set based consistency checking method. The met...
