Abstract:
Binocular rivalry is an interesting phenomenon where perception oscillates between different images presented to the two eyes. This thesis is primarily concerned with modelling travelling waves of visual perception during transitions between these perceptual states. In order to model this effect in such a way that we retain as much analytical insight into the mechanisms as possible we employed neural field theory. That is, rather than modelling individual neurons in a neural network we treat the cortical surface as a continuous medium and establish integro-differential equations for the activi

Abstract:
Neural stem cells showed strong electrotaxis, evidenced by highly directed migration towards the cathode.  Optimal electrotaxis was found to require growth factors and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3-K) signalling, although reduced electrotaxis could be obtained without growth factors at the highest EFs used.  After EF exposure, neural stem cell trajectories became much more linear, and a reduction in the number of cell protrusions oriented towards the anode was observed.  Also, protrusions initially orienting towards the cathode retracted after the polarity of the EF was reversed, suggesting t

Abstract:
Spatiotemporal activity patterns with complex dynamics have been widely observed in the cortex, but their formation mechanisms and functional roles remain unclear. In this thesis, we first analyze how interactions of distributed bump activity patterns give rise to anomalous subdiffusive dynamics. Unlike normal diffusion whose mean squared error in representing working memory increases linearly with time, subdiffusion is characterized by a sublinear increase in its error, thereby significantly reducing memory degradation. The computational role of subdiffusive pattern dynamics in working memory

Abstract:
The ability for unmanned autonomous aerial vehicles (UAV) to localize themselves in an environment is fundamental for them to be able to function, even if they do not have access to a global positioning system. Recently, with the success of deep learning in vision based tasks, there have been some proposed methods for absolute geolocalization using vison based deep learning with satellite and UAV images. Most of these are only tested in urban environments, which begs the question: How well do they work in non-urban areas like forests and fields? One drawback of deep learning is that models are

In materials science, the traditional methodological framework is the identification of the composition-processing-structure-property causal pathways that link hierarchical structure to properties.

Abstract:
To describe learning, as an alternative to a neural network recently dynamical systems were introduced whose vector fields were plastic and self-organising. Such a system automatically modifies its velocity vector field in response to the external stimuli. In the simplest case under certain conditions its vector field develops into a gradient of a multi-dimensional probability density distribution of the stimuli. We illustrate with examples how such a system carries out categorisation, pattern recognition, memorisation and forgetting without any supervision.

Dans la recherche permanente de solutions pour dépasser les limitations de plus en plus visibles de nos architectures matérielles, le calcul non-conventionnel offre des alternatives variées comme l’ingénierie neuromorphique et le calcul cellulaire. Comme von Neumann qui s’était initialement inspiré du cerveau pour concevoir l’architecture des ordinateurs, l’ingénierie neuromorphique prend la même inspiration en utilisant un substrat analogique plus proche des neurones et des synapses. Le calcul cellulaire s’inspire lui des substrats de calcul naturels (chimique, physiques ou biologiques) qui i

Abstract:
In this work, a Representative Volume Element (RVE) generator based on the distance fields of arbitrary shaped inclusion packing is used to obtain morphologies of open-foam materials. When the inclusions are spherical, the tessellations of the resultant packing creates morphologies that are similar to physical foam samples in terms of their face-to-pore ratio, edge-to-face ratio and strut length distribution among others. Functions that combine the distance fields can be used to obtain the tessellations along with the necessary variations in the strut geometry and extract these open-foam morph

Abstract:
Neural fields models have been developed. to emulate large scale brain dynamics. They exhibit similar types of patterns as observed in real cortical tissue, such as travelling waves and persistent localised activity. The study of neural field models is yet a growing field of research, and in this thesis we contribute by developing new approaches to the analysis of pattern formation. A particular focus is on interface methods in one and two spatial dimensions. In the first part of this thesis we Study the influence of inhomogeneities on the velocity of propagating waves. We examine periodically

Abstract:
Current theories and mechanisms of nerve impulse propagation inside neurons do not give a satisfactory explanation to the nanoscale processes that occur inside the membrane. Propagation at the dendritic zones, and at the myelinated and unmyelinated axons, presents effects and events that, despite numerical calculations of current models fit with biological results obtained with macroscopic measurements, are far from giving an explanation to the real operation of biological mechanisms and to the effects and behaviors that the involved biological elements support.

Abstract:
A computationally efficient, biophysically-based model of single-neuron dynamics is studied. The model equations are shown to provide a wide array of physiological dynamics in terms of spiking patterns, bursting, sub-threshold oscillations, and chaotic firing. Despite its simplicity, the model is capable of simulating an extensive range of spiking patterns. This simple model is suitable for use in neural field theory . A variant of the single-neuron model is incorporated into a physiologically-based corticothalamic neural field model to study slow wave oscillations including cortical UP
