Abstract: At present, it is obvious that different sections of nervous system utilize different methods for information coding. Primary afferent signals in most cases are represented in form of spike trains using a combination of rate coding and population coding while there are clear evidences that temporal coding is used in various regions of cortex. In the present paper, it is shown that conversion between these two coding schemes can be…

The paper is devoted to implementation and exploration of evolutionary development of the short-term memory mechanism in spiking neural networks (SNN) starting from initial chaotic state. Short-term memory is defined here as a network ability to store information about recent stimuli in form of specific neuron activity patterns. Stable appearance of this effect was demonstrated for so called stabilizing SNN, the network model proposed by the author. In order to…

Critically ill patients in intensive care often require artificial lung ventilation. This ventilation is performed by a special apparatus that provides gas exchange (oxygen supply and carbon dioxide removal). Adequate management of the process is one of the key factors of the whole treatment success. Different patients require different regimes of the artificial lung ventilation. It is very important to perform classification of patients into groups requiring similar regimes of…
