Supercomputing facilities are becoming increasingly available for simulating activity dynamics in large-scale neuronal networks. On today's most advanced supercomputers, networks with up to a billion of neurons can be readily simulated. However, building biologically realistic, full-scale brain models requires more than just a huge number of neurons. In addition to network size, the detailed local and global anatomy of neuronal connections is of crucial importance. Moreover, anatomical connectivity is not fixed, but can rewire throughout life (structural plasticity)—an aspect that is missing in most current network models, in which plasticity is confined to changes in synaptic strength (sy...
In this thesis, computational models of adaptive motor control and visuomotor coordination are explored and developed. These models relate to hypotheses on how sensorimotor processing in biological organisms might be organized at an abstract level; furthermore, these models and their specific implementations offer solutions for technical problems in the domain of adaptive robotics. For this reason, both biological and technical aspects are addressed. On the one hand, this thesis focuses on the learning of so-called internal models (Miall et al., 1993; Kawato, 1999): "forward models", which predict the sensory consequences of the agent''s own actions, and "inverse models", which act like moto...
Anticipatory behavior in adaptive learning systems continues attracting attention of researchers in many areas, including cognitive systems, neuroscience, psychology, and machine learning. This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Anticipatory Behavior in Adaptive Learning Systems, ABiALS 2008, held in Munich, Germany, in June 2008, in collaboration with the six-monthly Meeting of euCognition 'The Role of Anticipation in Cognition'. The 18 revised full papers presented were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement for inclusion in the book. The introductory chapter of this state-of-the-art survey not ...
The first philosophical monograph on the ethics of memory manipulation (MM), "Forget Me Not: The Neuroethical Case Against Memory Manipulation" contends that any attempt to directly and intentionally erase episodic memories poses a grave threat to the human condition that cannot be justified within a normative moral calculus. Grounding its thesis in four evidential effects – namely, (i) MM disintegrates autobiographical memory, (ii) the disintegration of autobiographical memory degenerates emotional rationality, (iii) the degeneration of emotional rationality decays narrative identity, and (iv) the decay of narrative identity disables one to seek, identify, and act on the good – DePergola argues that MM cannot be justified as a morally licit practice insofar as it disables one to seek, identify, and act on the good. A landmark achievement in the field of neuroethics, this book is a welcome addition to both the scholarly and professional community in philosophical and clinical bioethics.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the joint International Conference on Artificial Neural Networks and International Conference on Neural Information Processing, ICANN/ICONIP 2003, held in Istanbul, Turkey, in June 2003. The 138 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 346 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on learning algorithms, support vector machine and kernel methods, statistical data analysis, pattern recognition, vision, speech recognition, robotics and control, signal processing, time-series prediction, intelligent systems, neural network hardware, cognitive science, computational neuroscience, context aware systems, complex-valued neural networks, emotion recognition, and applications in bioinformatics.
This two-volume set of LNCS 11871 and 11872 constitutes the thoroughly refereed conference proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Intelligent Data Engineering and Automated Learning, IDEAL 2019, held in Manchester, UK, in November 2019. The 94 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 149 submissions. These papers provided a timely sample of the latest advances in data engineering and machine learning, from methodologies, frameworks, and algorithms to applications. The core themes of IDEAL 2019 include big data challenges, machine learning, data mining, information retrieval and management, bio-/neuro-informatics, bio-inspired models (including neural networks, evolutionary computation and swarm intelligence), agents and hybrid intelligent systems, real-world applications of intelligent techniques and AI.
This book gathers the proceedings of the 21st Engineering Applications of Neural Networks Conference, which is supported by the International Neural Networks Society (INNS). Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been following a unique course, characterized by alternating growth spurts and “AI winters.” Today, AI is an essential component of the fourth industrial revolution and enjoying its heyday. Further, in specific areas, AI is catching up with or even outperforming human beings. This book offers a comprehensive guide to AI in a variety of areas, concentrating on new or hybrid AI algorithmic approaches with robust applications in diverse sectors. One of the advantages of this book is that it includes robust algorithmic approaches and applications in a broad spectrum of scientific fields, namely the use of convolutional neural networks (CNNs), deep learning and LSTM in robotics/machine vision/engineering/image processing/medical systems/the environment; machine learning and meta learning applied to neurobiological modeling/optimization; state-of-the-art hybrid systems; and the algorithmic foundations of artificial neural networks.
This book presents the refereed post-proceedings of the Third International Workshop on Anticipatory Behavior in Adaptive Learning Systems. Twenty full papers were chosen from among the many submissions. Papers are organized into sections covering anticipatory aspects in brains, language, and cognition; individual anticipatory frameworks; learning predictions and anticipations; anticipatory individual behavior; and anticipatory social behavior.
