  • Reconstruction, Identification and Implementation Methods for Spiking Neural Circuits

    by Dorian Florescu ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    This work is motivated by the ongoing open question of how information in the outside world is represented and processed by the brain. Consequently, several novel methods are developed.A new mathematical formulation is proposed for the encoding and decoding of analog signals using integrate-and-fire neuron models. Based on this formulation, a novel algorithm, significantly faster than the state-of ... Read more

  • How Literature Plays with the Brain

    The Neuroscience of Reading and Art

    by Paul B. Armstrong ...
    An original interdisciplinary study positioned at the intersection of literary theory and neuroscience."Literature matters," says Paul B. Armstrong, "for what it reveals about human experience, and the very different perspective of neuroscience on how the brain works is part of that story." In How Literature Plays with the Brain, Armstrong examines the parallels between certain features of ... Read more

  • Knowing Humanity in the Social World

    The Path of Steve Fuller's Social Epistemology

    by Francis X Remedios, Val Dusek ...
    Series series Social Sciences (R0)
    This book examines Fuller’s pioneering vision of social epistemology. It focuses specifically on his work post-2000, which is founded in the changing conception of humanity and project into a ‘post-‘ or ‘trans-‘ human future. Chapters treat especially Fuller’s provocative response to the changing boundary conditions of the knower due to anticipated changes in humanity coming from the nanosciences, ... Read more

  • New Advances on Chaotic Intermittency and its Applications

    by Sergio Elaskar, Ezequiel del Río ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    One of the most important routes to chaos is the chaotic intermittency. However, there are many cases that do not agree with the classical theoretical predictions. In this book, an extended theory for intermittency in one-dimensional maps is presented. A new general methodology to evaluate the reinjection probability density function (RPD) is developed in Chapters 5 to 8. The key of this ... Read more

  • Morphogenesis and Individuation

    Edited by Alessandro Sarti, Federico Montanari, Francesco Galofaro ...
    Series series Philosophy and Religion (R0)
    This contributed volume aims to reconsider the concept of individuation, clarifying its articulation with respect to contemporary problems in perceptual, neural, developmental, semiotic and social morphogenesis. The authors approach the ontogenetical issue by taking into account the morphogenetic process, involving the concept of individuation proposed by Gilbert Simondon and Gilles Deleuze. The ...

  • Models of Wave Memory

    by Serguey Kashchenko ...
    Series series Lecture Notes in Morphogenesis
    This monograph examines in detail models of neural systems described by delay-differential equations. Each element of the medium (neuron) is an oscillator that generates, in standalone mode, short impulses also known as spikes. The book discusses models of synaptic interaction between neurons, which lead to complex oscillatory modes in the system. In addition, it presents a solution to the problem ... Read more

  • How Can Physics Underlie the Mind?

    Top-Down Causation in the Human Context

    by George Ellis ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Physics underlies all complexity, including our own existence: how is this possible? How can our own lives emerge from interactions of electrons, protons, and neutrons? This book considers the interaction of physical and non-physical causation in complex systems such as living beings, and in particular in the human brain, relating this to the emergence of higher levels of complexity with real ...
