DFORM: Diffeomorphic vector field alignment for assessing dynamics across learned models

no code implementations15 Feb 2024 Ruiqi Chen, Giacomo Vedovati, Todd Braver, ShiNung Ching

Evaluating the dynamics in such networks is key to understanding their learned generative mechanisms.

Strong anti-Hebbian plasticity alters the convexity of network attractor landscapes

no code implementations22 Dec 2023 Lulu Gong, Xudong Chen, ShiNung Ching

We are specifically interested in how the attractor landscapes of such networks become altered as a function of the strength and nature (Hebbian vs. anti-Hebbian) of learning, which may have a bearing on the ability of such rules to mediate large-scale optimization problems.

Astrocytes as a mechanism for meta-plasticity and contextually-guided network function

no code implementations6 Nov 2023 Lulu Gong, Fabio Pasqualetti, Thomas Papouin, ShiNung Ching

We then embed this model in a bandit-based reinforcement learning task environment, and show how the presence of time-scale separated astrocytic modulation enables learning over multiple fluctuating contexts.

Contextual guidance: An integrated theory for astrocytes function in brain circuits and behavior

no code implementations17 Nov 2022 Ciaran Murphy-Royal, ShiNung Ching, Thomas Papouin

The participation of astrocytes in brain computation was formally hypothesized in 1992, coinciding with the discovery that these glial cells display a complex form of Ca2+ excitability.

Efficient state and parameter estimation for high-dimensional nonlinear system identification with application to MEG brain network modeling

no code implementations6 Apr 2021 Matthew F. Singh, Chong Wang, Michael W. Cole, ShiNung Ching

Intuitively, our approach consists of solving for the parameters that generate the most accurate state estimator (Extended Kalman Filter).

Slow manifolds in recurrent networks encode working memory efficiently and robustly

1 code implementation8 Jan 2021 Elham Ghazizadeh, ShiNung Ching

Working memory is a cognitive function involving the storage and manipulation of latent information over brief intervals of time, thus making it crucial for context-dependent computation.
