  2. Computational neuroscience - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_neuroscience

    Computational neuroscience (also known as theoretical neuroscience or mathematical neuroscience) is a branch of neuroscience which employs mathematics, computer science, theoretical analysis and abstractions of the brain to understand the principles that govern the development, structure, physiology and cognitive abilities of the nervous system.

  3. Models of neural computation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Models_of_neural_computation

    The entire behavior of a neuron or synapse are encoded in a transfer function, lack of knowledge concerning the exact underlying mechanism notwithstanding. This brings a highly developed mathematics to bear on the problem of information transfer. The accompanying taxonomy of linear filters turns out to be useful in characterizing neural circuitry.

  4. Neuroscience - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroscience

    Neuroscience is the scientific study of the nervous system (the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nervous system), its functions, and its disorders. [1] [2] [3] It is a multidisciplinary science that combines physiology, anatomy, molecular biology, developmental biology, cytology, psychology, physics, computer science, chemistry, medicine, statistics, and mathematical modeling to understand ...

  5. Mathematics of artificial neural networks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics_of_artificial...

    Mathematically, a neuron's network function () is defined as a composition of other functions (), that can further be decomposed into other functions. This can be conveniently represented as a network structure, with arrows depicting the dependencies between functions.

  6. Cognitive neuroscience - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_neuroscience

    It addresses the questions of how cognitive activities are affected or controlled by neural circuits in the brain. Cognitive neuroscience is a branch of both neuroscience and psychology, overlapping with disciplines such as behavioral neuroscience, cognitive psychology, physiological psychology and affective neuroscience. [2]

  7. Artificial neuron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_neuron

    An artificial neuron may be referred to as a semi-linear unit, Nv neuron, binary neuron, linear threshold function, or McCulloch–Pitts (MCP) neuron, depending on the structure used. Simple artificial neurons, such as the McCulloch–Pitts model, are sometimes described as "caricature models", since they are intended to reflect one or more ...

  8. Neuropsychology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuropsychology

    Neuropsychology is a branch of psychology concerned with how a person's cognition and behavior are related to the brain and the rest of the nervous system.Professionals in this branch of psychology focus on how injuries or illnesses of the brain affect cognitive and behavioral functions.

  9. Neuron doctrine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuron_doctrine

    Neuron theory is an example of consilience where low level theories are absorbed into higher level theories that explain the base data as part of higher order structure. As a result, the neuron doctrine has multiple elements, each of which were the subject of low level theories, debate, and primary data collection.
