K-Winners-Take-All Computation with Neural Oscillators [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2003
Artificial spike-based computation, inspired by models of computation in the central nervous system, may present significant performance advantages over traditional methods for specific types of large scale problems. This paper describes very simple network architectures for k-winners-take-all and soft-winner-take-all computation using neural ...

Defective cholesterol clearance limits remyelination in the aged central nervous system

open access: yesScience, 2018
Keeping cholesterol at bay A decline in tissue repair is a universal hallmark of aging. The failure to regenerate myelin sheaths in multiple sclerosis lesions contributes to chronic progressive disease and disability.

A Multifractal Dynamical Model of Human Gait [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2005
Summary: Walking is regulated through the motorcontrol system (MCS). The MCS consists of a network of neurons from the central nervous system (CNS) and the intraspinal nervous system (INS), which is capable of producing a syncopated output. The coupling of the latter two systems produces a complex stride interval time series that is characterized by ...

A hypothesis on the selective advantage for sleep [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2005
In this note, we present a hypothesis for the emergence of the phenomenon of sleep in organisms with sufficiently developed central nervous systems. We argue that sleep emerges because individual neurons must periodically enter a resting state and perform various ``garbage collection'' activities.

Hierarchical learning control for autonomous robots inspired by central nervous system [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Mammals can generate autonomous behaviors in various complex environments through the coordination and interaction of activities at different levels of their central nervous system. In this paper, we propose a novel hierarchical learning control framework by mimicking the hierarchical structure of the central nervous system along with their ...

Vanadium dioxide circuits emulate neurological disorders [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2018
Information in the central nervous system (CNS) is conducted via electrical signals known as action potentials and is encoded in time. Several neurological disorders including depression, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), originate in faulty brain signaling frequencies.

Improving human ankle joint position sense using an artificial tongue-placed tactile biofeedback [PDF]

open access: yesNeuroscience letters 405 (2006) 19-23, 2006
Proprioception is comprised of sensory input from several sources including muscle spindles, joint capsule, ligaments and skin. The purpose of the present experiment was to investigate whether the central nervous system was able to integrate an artificial biofeedback delivered through electrotactile stimulation of the tongue to improve proprioceptive ...
