Exploring Neural Correlates of Flexible Cognition During a Complex Decision Making Task
Ferre, JohnEfficiently solving complex decision making tasks typically arises from the use of schemas, abstract structures that organize experience and guide integration of novel information. There is a wealth of knowledge related ... -
Neural Mechanisms of Trial and Error Learning: a Study from Bird Song
Duffy, Alison GuidryIn this dissertation I examine how variation is generated, shaped and controlled in the brain during trial-and-error learning. The first part of this dissertation concerns the mathematical modeling of networks of neurons ... -
Probabilistic Neural Coding from Deterministic Neural Dynamics: mathematics and biophysics of adaptive single neuron computation
Famulare, Michael George (2012-08-10)The basic unit of computation in the nervous system is the transformation of input into output spikes performed by an individual neuron. The spiking response of the neuron to a complex, time-varying input can be characterized ...
