The introduction of auxiliary controller can overcome the above problems, but the performance of different auxiliary controllers is quite different. Hence, in this paper, we comprehensively compare and analyze the performance of different auxiliary controllers to provide a theoretical basis for designing BMI system. The main work includes: (1) designing four kinds of auxiliary controllers based on simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation-function approximator (SPSA-FA), iterative feedback tuning-PID (IFT-PID), model predictive control (MPC) and model-free control (MFC); (2) based on the model of improved single-joint information transmission, constructing the closed-loop BMI systems with the decoder-based Wiener filter; and (3) comparing their performance in the constructed closed-loop BMI systems for dynamic motion restoration. The results show that the order of tracking accuracy is MPC, IFT-PID, SPSA-FA, MFC, and the order of time consumed is opposite. A good control effectiveness is achieved at the expense of time, so a suitable auxiliary controller should be selected according to the actual requirements.</p>","PeriodicalId":55374,"journal":{"name":"Biological Cybernetics","volume":"116 1","pages":"23-32"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39483778","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An illustrative application is provided which treats the evolution of the connectivity of left- and right-eye visual stimuli to neuronal populations in the primary visual cortex (V1), and the initial, linear phase of formation of approximately one-dimensional (1D) ocular dominance columns (ODCs) that sets their transverse spatial scale. This links V1 activity, structure, and physiology within a single theory that already accounts for a range of other brain activity and connectivity phenomena, thereby enabling ODC formation and many other phenomena to be interrelated and cortical parameters to be constrained across multiple domains. The results accord with experimental ODC widths for realistic cortical parameters and are based directly on a unified description of the neuronal populations involved, their connection strengths, and the neuronal activity they support. Other key results include simple analytic approximations for ODC widths and the parameters of maximum growth rate, constraints on cortical excitatory and inhibitory gains, elucidation of the roles of specific poles of the V1 response function, and the fact that ODCs are not formed when input stimuli are fully correlated between eyes.

This paper asks whether the use of a robotic facsimile representing an archerfish can elicit a social response if it approximates an archerfish's appearance, along with key features of its hunting behavior. We found that the fish respond to the robot when it hunted, as indicated by decreasing distances between the robot and fish (and among the fish) during the robot's hunting behavior sequence, as well as higher net transfer entropy when the robot was hunting. These effects were present even when the robot's \"hunt\" was unproductive and did not result in food. The temporal pattern of fish approach to the robot and each other indicated that the segment of robot hunting behavior proximal to the robotic facsimile shot elicited fish behavior initially. However, earlier cues in the robot's hunting sequence became important following more experience with a food contingency. This indicates that further studies could use a robotic facsimile to conduct a detailed stimulus analysis, changing aspects of the robot's appearance and behavior to uncover the basic mechanisms of information transfer among individuals in a social hunting scenario.</p>","PeriodicalId":55374,"journal":{"name":"Biological Cybernetics","volume":"115 6","pages":"585-598"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1007/s00422-021-00885-7","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9330258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In continuous attractor networks frequently used to model working memory or decision making tasks, the persistent activity settles to a stable pattern with the stereotyped shape of a \"bump\" independent of integration time or input strength. Here, we investigate a new bump attractor model in which the bump width and amplitude not only reflect qualitative and quantitative characteristics of a preceding input but also the continuous integration of evidence over longer timescales. The model is formalized by two coupled dynamic field equations of Amari-type which combine recurrent interactions mediated by a Mexican-hat connectivity with local feedback mechanisms that balance excitation and inhibition. We analyze the existence, stability and bifurcation structure of single and multi-bump solutions and discuss the relevance of their input dependence to modeling cognitive functions. We then systematically compare the pattern formation process of the two-field model with the classical Amari model. The results reveal that the balanced local feedback mechanisms facilitate the encoding and maintenance of multi-item memories. The existence of stable subthreshold bumps suggests that different to the Amari model, the suppression effect of neighboring bumps in the range of lateral competition may not lead to a complete loss of information. Moreover, bumps with larger amplitude are less vulnerable to noise-induced drifts and distance-dependent interaction effects resulting in more faithful memory representations over time.</p>","PeriodicalId":55374,"journal":{"name":"Biological Cybernetics","volume":"115 5","pages":"451-471"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2021-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1007/s00422-021-00893-7","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39331212","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
