In this paper, we introduce a novel system for recognition of partially occluded and rotated images. The system is based on a hierarchical network of integrate-and-fire spiking neurons with random synaptic connections and a novel organization process. The network generates integrated output sequences that are used for image classification. The proposed network is shown to provide satisfactory predictive performance given that the number of the recognition neurons and synaptic connections are adjusted to the size of the input image. Comparison of synaptic plasticity activity rule (SAPR) and spike timing dependant plasticity rules, which are used to learn connections between the spiking neurons, indicates that the former gives better results and thus the SAPR rule is used. Test results show that the proposed network performs better than a recognition system based on support vector machines.

The brain faces the challenging task of preserving a consistent portrayal of the external world in the face of disruptive sensory inputs. What alterations occur in sensory representation amidst noise, and how does brain activity adapt to it? Although it has previously been shown that background white noise (WN) decreases responses to salient sounds, a mechanistic understanding of the brain processes responsible for such changes is lacking. We investigated the effect of background WN on neuronal spiking activity, membrane potential, and network oscillations in the mouse central auditory system.

Piecewise-deterministic Markov processes combine continuous in time dynamics with jump events, the rates of which generally depend on the continuous variables and thus are not constants. This leads to a problem in a Monte-Carlo simulation of such a system, where, at each step, one must find the time instant of the next event. The latter is determined by an integral equation and usually is rather slow in numerical implementation.

A future unmanned system needs the ability to perceive, decide and control in an open dynamic environment. In order to fulfill this requirement, it needs to construct a method with a universal environmental perception ability. Moreover, this perceptual process needs to be interpretable and understandable, so that future interactions between unmanned systems and humans can be unimpeded.

The primary motor cortex (M1) is believed to be a cortical center for the execution of limb movements. Although M1 neurons mainly project to the spinal cord on the contralateral side, some M1 neurons project to the ipsilateral side via the uncrossed corticospinal pathway. Moreover, some M1 neurons are activated during ipsilateral forelimb movements.
