In many studies of self-organized criticality (SOC), branching processes were used to model the dynamics of the activity of the system during avalanches. This mathematical simpli...
Although the role of lateral inhibition in edge (contrast) enhancement is well known, it has not been parametrized. This paper investigates the imbalance between the lateral inhib...
Many neural networks, such as the complex cortical networks of the mammalian brain, are organized in multiple clusters, with many connections within but few links between clusters...
Kernel principal component analysis (KPCA) extracts features of samples with an efficiency in inverse proportion to the size of the training sample set. In this paper, we develop...

The tail-withdrawal circuit of Aplysia provides a useful model system for investigating synaptic dynamics. Sensory neurons within the circuit manifest several forms of synaptic pl...
