Mutual information between stimulus and response has been advocated as an information theoretic measure of a neural system's capability to process information. Once calculated, the result is a single number that supposedly captures the system's information characteristics over the range of...

Conventional electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) analysis often rely on averaging over multiple trials to extract statistically relevant differences between two or more experimental conditions. We demonstrate that by linearly integrating information over multiple...

Seizure cancellation in a network model with Hodgkin-Huxley type elements was evaluated by applying different stimulation paradigms. The simulated activities of single neurons and a computed field potential during different states of the network were the basis of this evaluation. Three types of...

Different rhythmic activities in CA1 characterize the neuronal correlate of several behavioral states. Recently, in an in vitro preparation of whole hippocampus, generation of spontaneous slow rhythms, similar to in vivo hippocampal EEGs, has been reported. We previously proposed a dynamical...

The detection of weak sensory signals is an important aspect of sensory neuronal processing. Behaviorally relevant signals from the environment are often encoded as perturbations of on- going spiking activity in primary afferents, but little is known about how they are detected when embedded in...

This paper contains a model of waste elimination through design. It argues for the importance of managing design complexity in improving cost, quality, variety, and time-to-market performance variables. Management of design complexity is identified with creation, choice, and application of...

The bid valuation and construction problem for carriers facing combinatorial auctions for the procurement of freight transportation contracts is very difficult and involves the computation of a number of NP-hard sub problems. In this paper we examine computationally tractable approxim ation...
