The Effect of the Threshold Parameter on the Statistics of Neuronal Avalanches in the Rotational Model, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Moghimi Araghi, Saman (Supervisor)
Abstract
There are experiments that conclude the brain is in the critical or near the critical region. These researches extract avalanches from the neuronal activity and then show that avalanche size (or duration) distribution obeys the power-law distribution. Defining avalanches from neuronal activity has some challenges. In some cases deciding the threshold (which determines the beginning and end of an avalanche) seems arbitrary or fine-tuned. In this thesis, we will show how different thresholds for defining avalanche and different time resolutions for defining neuronal activity can change avalanche size (or duration) distribution
