Decoded fMRI neurofeedback can induce bidirectional behavioral changes within single participants [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 Studies using real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging (rt-fMRI) have recently incorporated the decoding approach, allowing for fMRI to be used as a tool for manipulation of fine-grained neural activity. Because of the tremendous potential for clinical applications, certain questions regarding decoded neurofeedback (DecNef) must be addressed ...

Topological Skeletonization and Tree-Summarization of Neurons Using Discrete Morse Theory [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Neuroscientific data analysis has classically involved methods for statistical signal and image processing, drawing on linear algebra and stochastic process theory. However, digitized neuroanatomical data sets containing labelled neurons, either individually or in groups labelled by tracer injections, do not fully fit into this classical framework ...

Amnesia of inhibitory avoidance by scopolamine is overcome by previous open-field exposure [PDF]
, 2014 The muscarinic cholinergic receptor (MAChR) blockade with scopolamine either extended or restricted to the hippocampus, before or after training in inhibitory avoidance (IA) caused anterograde or retrograde amnesia, respectively, in the rat, because ...

Could a Computer Architect Understand our Brain? [PDF]
arXivThis paper presents a highly speculative model encompassing the cortex, thalamus, and hippocampus of the mammalian brain. While the majority of computational neuroscience models are founded upon empirical evidence, this model is predicated upon a hardware proposal for a machine learning accelerator. Such a device was designed to perform a specific task,

An Inverse Problems Approach to Pulse Wave Analysis in the Human Brain [PDF]
Cardiac pulsations in the human brain have received recent interest due to their possible role in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. Further interest stems from their possible application as an endogenous signal source that can be utilized for brain imaging in general.

Psychological factors in retrograde amnesia: self-deception and a broken heart [PDF]
, 2008 We explored potential contributing psychological factors in a patient (‘XF’) with focal retrograde amnesia, within the framework proposed by Kopelman (2000). In particular, we investigated the psychological trait of self-enhancement.

Memento No More: Coaching AI Agents to Master Multiple Tasks via Hints Internalization [PDF]
arXivAs the general capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI) agents continue to evolve, their ability to learn to master multiple complex tasks through experience remains a key challenge. Current LLM agents, particularly those based on proprietary language models, typically rely on prompts to incorporate knowledge about the target tasks.

Invariant Representations through Adversarial Forgetting [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 We propose a novel approach to achieving invariance for deep neural networks in the form of inducing amnesia to unwanted factors of data through a new adversarial forgetting mechanism. We show that the forgetting mechanism serves as an information-bottleneck, which is manipulated by the adversarial training to learn invariance to unwanted factors ...

I.V. MIDAZOLAM AS AN INDUCTION AGENT FOR ANAESTHESIA: A STUDY IN VOLUNTEERS [PDF]
, 2017 The central nervous and cardiovascular effects of midazolam 0.15 mg kg−1 were studied in 20 healthy, unpremedicated volunteers (10 male and 10 female). No important side-effects were noted and the venous tolerance to midazolam was excellent.
