Published: October 2012

In this paper, a new iterative winner-take-all (WTA) neural network is developed and analyzed. The proposed WTA neural net with one-layer structure is established under the concept of the statistical mean. For three typical distributions of initial activations, the convergence behaviors of the existing and the proposed WTA neural nets are evaluated by theoretical analyses and Monte Carlo simulations. We found that the suggested WTA neural network on average requires fewer than Log(2)M iterations to complete a WTA process for the three distributed inputs, where M is the number of competitors. Furthermore, the fault tolerances of the iterative WTA nets are analyzed and simulated. From the view points of convergence speed, hardware complexity, and robustness to the errors, the proposed WTA is suitable for various applications.

Distributed opinion competition scheme with gradient-based neural network in social networks.

Sci Rep

December 2024

College of Electronic and Information Engineering, Guangdong Ocean University, ZhanJiang, 524088, China.

In the context of social networks becoming primary platforms for information dissemination and public discourse, understanding how opinions compete and reach consensus has become increasingly vital. This paper introduces a novel distributed competition model designed to elucidate the dynamics of opinion competitive behavior in social networks. The proposed model captures the development mechanism of various opinions, their appeal to individuals, and the impact of the social environment on their evolution.

International Institute for Integrative Sleep Medicine (WPI-IIIS), University of Tsukuba, 1-1-1 Tennodai, Tsukuba, Ibaraki, 305-8575, Japan.

Binaural beats can entrain neural oscillations and modulate behavioral states. However, the effect of binaural beats, particularly those with slow frequencies (< 1 Hz), on sleep remains poorly understood. We hypothesized that 0.

Treadmill-based repeated perturbation training (PBT) induces motor adaptation in reactive balance responses, thus lowering the risk of slip-induced falls. However, little evidence exists regarding intervention-induced changes in neuromuscular control underlying motor adaptation. Examining neuromuscular changes could be an important step in identifying key elements of adaptation and evaluating treadmill training protocols for fall prevention.

Effective cue integration is essential for an animal's survival. The ring attractor network has emerged as a powerful framework for understanding how animals seamlessly integrate various cues. This network not only elucidates neural dynamics within the brain, especially in spatial encoding systems like the heading direction (HD) system, but also sheds light on cue integration within decision-making processes.
