We showed recently that exposure to whisker vibrations enhances coding efficiency in rat barrel cortex despite increasing correlations in variability (Adibi et al., 2013). Here, to understand how adaptation achieves this improvement in sensory representation, we decomposed the stimulus information carried in neuronal population activity into its fundamental components in the framework of inform...

In this paper, we explore the properties of holographic entanglement entropy (HEE), mutual information (MI) and purification (EoP) in Lifshitz theory. These informational quantities exhibit some universal dual field For most configuration parameters temperatures, these change monotonously with dynamical critical exponent $z$. However, also observe non-monotonic behaviors for specific spaces tem...

This paper is a continuation of my previous work on informational confidence. The main idea of this technique is to normalize confidence values from different sources in such a way that they match their informational content determined by their performance in an application domain. This reduces classifier combination to a simple integration of information. The proposed method has shown good res...

in this paper we introduce the concept of entropy operator for continuous systems of finite topological entropy. it is shown that it generates the kolmogorov entropy as a special case. if $phi$ is invertible then the entropy operator is bounded with the topological entropy of $phi$ as its norm.

investigations concerning the higher level activities of the cerebellar cortex in regard to psychoneurosis have revealed quite different point of views as compared to early pioneers in this field such as freud. systematic approach to informational processing as one of the higher level functions of cerebellar cortex plays an influencial part of the genesis of psychoneurosis. there are some simil...

We live within an increasingly technological, information-laden environment for the first time in human evolution. This subjects us (and will continue to subject us in an accelerating fashion) to an unremitting exposure to 'meaningful information that requires action'. Directly dependent upon this new environment are novel evolutionary pressures, which can modify existing resource allocation me...

Some general considerations on the notion of entropy in physics are presented. An attempt is made to clarify the question of the differentiation between physical entropy (the Clausius-Boltzmann one) and quantities called entropies associated to Information Theory, which are in fact generating functionals for the derivation of probability distributions and not thermodynamic functions of state. T...

Neural networks built of Hodgkin-Huxley neurons are examined. Such structures behave like Liquid State Machines. They can effectively process geometrical patterns shown to " artificial retina " into precisely defined output. The analysis of output responses is performed in two ways: by means of Artificial Neural Network and by calculating informational entropy. 1. Introduction and problem state...
