Recent advances in neuroscience have underscored the role of single neurons in information processing. Much of this work has focused on the role of neurons' dendrites to perform complex local computations that form the basis for the global computation of the neuron. Generally, artificial neural networks that are capable of real-time simulation do not take into account the principles underlying single-neuron processing. In this paper we propose a design for a neural model executed on the graphics processing unit (GPU) that is capable of simulating large neural networks that utilize dendritic computation inspired by biological neurons. We subsequently test our design using a neural model of the retinal neurons that contribute to the activation of starburst amacrine cells, which, as in biological retinas, use dendritic computational abilities to produce a neural signal that is directionally selective to stimuli moving centrifugally.

A computational model of the brain for decoding mental states from FMRI images
Alkan, Sarper; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2019)
Brain decoding from brain images obtained using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) techniques is an important task for the identification of mental states and illnesses as well as for the development of brain machine interfaces. The brain decoding methods that use multi-voxel pattern analysis that rely on the selection of voxels (volumetric pixels) that have relevant activity with respect to the experimental tasks or stimuli of the fMRI experiments are the most commonly used methods. While MVPA ba...
A Robust Normalization Method for fMRI Data for Brain Decoding
Yildiz, Ozan; Dogan, Fethiye Irmak; GİLLAM, İLKE; Mizrak, Eda; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay (2016-05-19)
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) methods produce high dimensional representation of cognitive processes under heavy noise due to the limitations of hardware and measurement techniques. In order to reduce the noise and extract useful information from the fMRI data, a sequence of pre-processing techniques, such as smoothing with spatial filters and z-scoring, are used. In this study, we suggest an additional normalization technique based upon a statistical property of fMRI data. We, first, define ...
A Sparse Temporal Mesh Model for Brain Decoding
Afrasiyabi, Arman; Onal, Itir; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay (2016-08-23)
One of the major drawbacks of brain decoding from the functional magnetic resonance images (fMRI) is the very high dimension of feature space which consists of thousands of voxels in sequence of brain volumes, recorded during a cognitive stimulus. In this study, we propose a new architecture, called Sparse Temporal Mesh Model (STMM), which reduces the dimension of the feature space by combining the voxel selection methods with the mesh learning method. We, first, select the "most discriminative" voxels usin...
An Information Theoretic Approach to Classify Cognitive States Using fMRI
Onal, Itir; Ozay, Mete; Firat, Orhan; GİLLAM, İLKE; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay (2013-11-13)
In this study, an information theoretic approach is proposed to model brain connectivity during a cognitive processing task, measured by functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI). For this purpose, a local mesh of varying size is formed around each voxel. The arc weights of each mesh are estimated using a linear regression model by minimizing the squared error. Then, the optimal mesh size for each sample, that represents the information distribution in the brain, is estimated by minimizing various inform...
A model on building and modifying the stimulus action association in the brain Beyinde Uyaran Hareket Ilişkisinin Oluşmasi ve Uyarlanmasina Dair Bir Model
Ercelik, Emec; Elibol, Rahmi; Şengör, Neslihan Serap (2015-06-19)
© 2015 IEEE.It is expected that building computational models of neural structures taking part in generating cognitive processes and emotions would not only help us understanding the brain but also give us clues to diagnose and develop treatment for neurological disorders and diseases. In this work, a computational model of cognitive task, goal directed behavior is considered. The cortex-basal ganglia-thalamus loop which is known to be effective in goal directed behavior has been modeled. In the model, the ...
