Developing a Model for Learning in Spiking Neural Network Domain based on Unique Processing Operator (with Joint Capability of Spatiotemporal Coding)
, Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology ; Bagheri Shouraki, Saeed (Supervisor)
Abstract
Scientists have discovered by researching the human brain that full knowledge of the functions of the human brain is beyond what they have ever imagined. Much has been learned about the brain and structure of the human nervous system today, but complete structural implementation with the complexity of the human brain is not possible with today's information and technology.One of the biggest struggles while working with artificial neural networks is being able to come up with models which closely match biological observations. Biological neural networks seem to capable of creating and pruning dendritic spines, leading to synapses being changed, which may result in higher learning capability....
Comparative Analysis of the Effect of Gamma-band Entrainment through Auditory Stimulation in AD Patients and Healthy Controls
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Aghajan, Hamid (Supervisor)
Abstract
As the most widespread form of mental disorders, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) remains among the main challenges in neurology and in the field of neuroscience. There are still no effective drugs to cure this disease or slow its progress, and prevention methods are still not even close to having established records. However, the onset of AD has been linked to certain dysfunctions of the oscillatory frequencies of the affected brain mainly in the gamma band. Hence, an approach to consider for reversing the damaging effects of AD could involve reviving such oscillations through stimulating the neuronal networks in the brain that are known to be the source of these oscillations. A recent research has...
