However, further discussion is needed to determine whether the spatial processing advantage of table tennis players manifests in the early stage of sensory input or the late stage of processing. This study aims to explore the processing styles and neural activity characteristics of table tennis players during spatial cognitive processing. Spatial cognitive tasks were completed by 28 college students and 20 s-level table tennis players, and event-related potentials (ERP) data were recorded during the task. The behavioral results showed that the table tennis group performed better on the task than the college students group (control). The ERP results showed that the amplitude of the N1 component of the table tennis group was significantly lower than that of the control group. The amplitude of the P2 and P3 components of the table tennis group was higher than that of the control group. Table tennis players showed significant synergistic activity between electrodes in the β-band. The results of this study suggest that table tennis players significantly deploy attentional resources and cognitive control.

Firstly, it is proved that both models have only one unstable equilibrium point. Then, the influence of the coupling strength parameters and neural membrane amplification coefficient of the corresponding system of the two models on the rich dynamical behavior of the systems is analyzed. Research has shown that when the number of discrete local active memristor used as simulation synapses in the system increases from one to two, the coupling strength parameter of the same memristor has significantly different effects on the dynamical behavior of the system within the same range, that is, from a state with periodicity, chaos, and periodicity window to a state with only chaos. In addition, under the influence of coupling strength parameters and neural membrane amplification coefficients, the complexity of the system weakens to varying degrees. Moreover, under the effect of two memristors, the system exhibits a rare and interesting phenomenon where the coupling strength parameter and the neural membrane amplification coefficient can mutually serve as control parameter, resulting in the generation of a remerging Feigenbaum tree. Finally, the pseudo-randomness of the chaotic systems corresponding to the two models are detected by NIST SP800-22, and relevant simulation results are verified on the DSP hardware experimental platform.

Integrating advanced signal processing techniques, particularly in neuroscientific studies, has opened new avenues for exploring deception at a deeper level. This study uses electroencephalogram (EEG) signals from a balanced cohort of 22 participants, consisting of both males and females, aged between 22 and 29, engaged in a visual task for instructed deception. We propose a novel approach in the realm of deception detection utilizing the Weighted Dual Perspective Visibility Graph (WDPVG) method to decode instructed deception by converting average epochs from each EEG channel into a complex network. Six graph-based features, including average and deviation of strength, weighted clustering coefficient, weighted clustering coefficient entropy, average weighted shortest path length, and modularity, are extracted, comprehensively representing the underlying brain dynamics associated with deception. Subsequently, these features are employed for classification using three distinct algorithms: K Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Decision Tree (DT). Experimental results reveal promising accuracy rates for KNN (66.64%), SVM (86.25%), and DT (82.46%). Furthermore, the features distributions of EEG networks are analyzed across different brain lobes, comparing truth-telling and lying modes. These analyses reveal the frontal and parietal lobes’ potential in distinguishing between truth and deception, highlighting their active role during deceptive behavior. The findings demonstrate the WDPVG method’s effectiveness in decoding deception from EEG signals, offering insights into the neural basis of deceptive behavior.

Using a conductance-based model, we manipulated the membrane potential of the apical dendrite in the simplified model. Our findings indicate that an increase in sodium conductance (<span>({g}_{Na})</span>) and membrane capacitance (<span>({C}_{m})</span>) weakens the XOR function, while regulation of potassium conductance (<span>({g}_{K})</span>) demonstrates robustness in maintaining the XOR function. Further analysis reveals that when a single pathway is activated, an increase in <span>({g}_{Na})</span> and <span>({C}_{m})</span> leads to decrease in the amplitude of dCaAPs, whereas increasing <span>({g}_{K})</span> has a relatively minor impact on dCaAPs amplitude.

The coupling is achieved by perturbing the next neuron's amplitude with a signal proportional to the previous one. The system consists of ten coupled ODEs, and the investigations carried out have allowed us to highlight several unusual and rarely related dynamics, hence the importance of emphasizing them. The main analysis tools that have helped in obtaining the results presented are phase portraits, bifurcation diagrams, and the Maximal Lyapunov exponent. In this system, we have observed phenomena such as the coexistence of homogeneous and heterogeneous attractors, period-doubling crisis, parallel branches, and the path leading to hyperchaotic multi-spiral. All attractors are non-hidden as they originate from well-known equilibrium points. The system has 254 equilibrium points, among which only 32 undergo a Hopf bifurcation followed by period-doubling, leading to a merging crisis phenomenon until the final hyperchaotic multi-spiral attractor. For the same parameter values (coupling or dissipation), a maximum of 30 attractors for the coupling coefficient and 32 attractors for dissipation coexist, and illustrated by the phase portraits. Virtual verification using Pspice and practical verification using an Arduino Mega 2580 microcontroller of the model have also been reported. They are in perfect agreement with the behaviors resulting from numerical investigations. The circuit energy and dimensionless energy has been estimated and the scale relation established.

Electroencephalogram (EEG) has emerged as a primary non-invasive method for measuring brain activity, offering valuable insights from a cognitive neurodevelopmental perspective. It forms the basis for Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) that provide a communication channel for individuals with neurological impairments, thereby empowering them to express themselves effectively.

Each neuron is connected with its neighbors in the layer via magnetic connections and a neuron in the corresponding position of the other layer via electrical synapse. By adjusting the electrical coupling strength and magnetic coupling strength, we find the appearance of alternating chimera states and transient chimera states whenever the intralayer coupling is nonlocal and local, respectively. According to our study, these phenomena have not been studied in multilayer networks of this structure. And it is found that the transient chimera states only could occur when the number of coupled neighbors is small. In addition, the states of two independent networks will affect the final states of networks applying the same sufficiently large interlayer coupling strength.

Abnormalities of gamma synchronization may underlie symptoms of several neurological and psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia and autism spectrum disorder. Properties of neural oscillations in the gamma band depend critically on the synaptic properties of the underlying circuits. This study explores how synaptic properties in pyramidal-interneuronal circuits affect not only the average synchronization strength but also the fine temporal patterning of neural synchrony. If two signals show only moderate synchrony strength, it may be possible to consider these dynamics as alternating between synchronized and desynchronized states. We use a model of connected circuits that produces pyramidal-interneuronal gamma oscillations to explore the temporal patterning of synchronized and desynchronized intervals. Changes in synaptic strength may alter the temporal patterning of synchronized dynamics (even if the average synchrony strength is not changed). Larger values of local synaptic connections promote longer desynchronization durations, while larger values of long-range synaptic connections promote shorter desynchronization durations. Furthermore, we show that circuits with different temporal patterning of synchronization may have different sensitivity to synaptic input. Thus, the alterations of synaptic strength may mediate physiological properties of neural circuits not only through change in the average synchrony level of gamma oscillations, but also through change in how synchrony is patterned in time over very short time scales.</p>","PeriodicalId":10500,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive Neurodynamics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142206392","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
