  1. 1. Investigations of neural attractor dynamics in human visual awareness

    Författare :David N. Silverstein; Pawel Herman; Martin Ingvar; Karl Friston; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; attractor dynamics; visual awareness; visual perception; visual attention; attentional blink; backward masking; gliomas; brain tumor; white matter; cell assemblies; neocortical model; threat response; fear signaling; amygdala; Biological Physics; Biologisk fysik; Computer Science; Datalogi; Tillämpad matematik och beräkningsmatematik; Applied and Computational Mathematics;

    Sammanfattning : What we see, how we see it and what emotions may arise from stimuli has long been studied by philosophers, psychologists, medical doctors and neuroscientists. This thesis work investigates a particular view on the possible dynamics, utilizing computational models of spiking neural attractor networks. LÄS MER

  3. 2. An Attractor Memory Model of Neocortex

    Författare :Christopher Johansson; Anders Lansner; Stefano Fusi; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Attractor Neural Networks; Cerebral Cortex; Neocortex; Brain Like Computing; Hypercolumns; Minicolumns; BCPNN; Parallel Computers; Autoassociative Memory; Computer science; Datalogi;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis presents an abstract model of the mammalian neocortex. The model was constructed by taking a top-down view on the cortex, where it is assumed that cortex to a first approximation works as a system with attractor dynamics. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Oscillations and spike statistics in biophysical attractor networks

    Författare :Mikael Lundqvist; Anders Lansner; Arvind Kumar; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Attractor networks; computational neuroscience; cortex; datalogi; Computer Science;

    Sammanfattning : The work of this thesis concerns how cortical memories are stored and retrieved. In particular, large-scale simulations are used to investigate the extent to which associative attractor theory is compliant with known physiology and in vivo dynamics. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Gene Regulatory Networks: Dynamics and Stability

    Författare :Carl Troein; Beräkningsbiologi och biologisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; systems; control; Datalogi; numerisk analys; system; kontroll; Computer science; numerical analysis; Fysik; biomathematics biometrics; Bioinformatik; medicinsk informatik; biomatematik; Physics; medical informatics; transcriptional regulation; gene regulatory networks; Bioinformatics; signaling pathway profiling; stem cell regulation; metabolic pathway; fitness; nested canalyzing rules; Kauffman networks; random Boolean networks; Fysicumarkivet:2007:Troein;

    Sammanfattning : Life as we know it is based on cells that use proteins and RNA to carry out metabolism, self-replication, and other essential tasks. The genes that code for these molecules are encoded in DNA, and through the processes of transcription and translation the cell expresses its genes. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Nonlinear dynamics in transitional wall-bounded flows

    Författare :Miguel Beneitez Galan; Dan S. Henningson; Philipp Schlatter; Yohann Duguet; Tobias Schneider; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Engineering Mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis focuses on numerical studies of subcritical transition to turbulence in shear flows. The thesis employs a framework based on nonlinear dynamics in the subsequent studies. The geometrical approach to subcritical transition pivots the concepts of edge manifold and edge state. LÄS MER
