This chapter demonstrates how the cortex communicates with the basal ganglia and the thalamus progressively during the evolution of vertebrates. The telencephalic loop is involved in social behaviour and cognitive processes. In mammals, the telencephalic loop, in which the cortex now replaces the pallium, takes a leading role in controlling behaviour. Thus, the telencephalon, a very minor input of the basal ganglia in anamniots, gradually becomes the main input as evolution progresses. Ultimately, the resulting neural network possesses the same dynamic properties as those described in Chapter 5. The neural network is also able to perform reinforcement learning through the subcortical loop, and also to automatize some skills at the cortical level.

Large enough structured neural networks are used for solving the tasks to recognize distorted images involving computer systems. One such neural network that can completely restore a distorted image is a fully connected pseudospin (dipole) neural network that possesses associative memory. When submitting some image to its input, it automatically selects and outputs the image that is closest to the input one. This image is stored in the neural network memory within the Hopfield paradigm. Within this paradigm, it is possible to memorize and reproduce arrays of information that have their own internal structure. In order to reduce learning time, the size of the neural network is minimized by simplifying its structure based on one of the approaches: underlying the first is «regularization» while the second is based on the removal of synaptic connections from the neural network. In this work, the simplification of the structure of a fully connected dipole neural network is based on the dipole-dipole interaction between the nearest adjacent neurons of the network. It is proposed to minimize the size of a neural network through dipole-dipole synaptic connections between the nearest neurons, which reduces the time of the computational resource in the recognition of distorted images. The ratio for weight coefficients of synaptic connections between neurons in dipole approximation has been derived. A training algorithm has been built for a dipole neural network with sparse synaptic connections, which is based on the dipole-dipole interaction between the nearest neurons. A computer experiment was conducted that showed that the neural network with sparse dipole connections recognizes distorted images 3 times faster (numbers from 0 to 9, which are shown at 25 pixels), compared to a fully connected neural network

Abstract:Continuous recording of intraluminal pressures for extended periods of time is currently regarded as a valuable method for detection of esophageal motor abnormalities. A subsequent automatic analysis of the resulting motility data relies on strict mathematical criteria for recognition of pressure events. Due to great variation in events, this method often fails to detect biologically relevant pressure variations. We have tried to develop a new concept for recognition of pressure events based on a neural network. Pressures were recorded for over 23 hours in 29 normal volunteers by means of a portable data recording system. A number of pressure events and non-events were selected from 9 recordings and used for training the network. The performance of the trained network was then verified on recordings from the remaining 20 volunteers. The accuracy and sensitivity of the two systems were comparable. However, the neural network recognized pressure peaks clearly generated by muscular activity that had escaped detection by the conventional program. In conclusion, we believe that neu-rocomputing has potential advantages for automatic analysis of gastrointestinal motility data.

The Neural Network

Abstract:This paper compares two classifiers: Pseudo Bayesian and Neural Network for assisting in making diagnoses of psychiatric patients based on a simple yes/no questionnaire which is provided at the outpatient’s first visit to the hospital. The classifiers categorize patients into three most commonly seen ICD classes, i.e. schizophrenic, emotional and neurotic disorders. One hundred completed questionnaires were utilized for constructing and evaluating the classifiers. Average correct decision rates were 73.3% for the Pseudo Bayesian Classifier and 77.3% for the Neural Network classifier. These rates were higher than the rate which an experienced psychiatrist achieved based on the same restricted data as the classifiers utilized. These classifiers may be effectively utilized for assisting psychiatrists in making their final diagnoses.

The problem of applying neural networks to calculate ratings used in banking in the decision-making process on granting or not granting loans to borrowers is considered. The task is to determine the rating function of the borrower based on a set of statistical data on the effectiveness of loans provided by the bank. When constructing a regression model to calculate the rating function, it is necessary to know its general form. If so, the task is to calculate the parameters that are included in the expression for the rating function. In contrast to this approach, in the case of using neural networks, there is no need to specify the general form for the rating function. Instead, certain neural network architecture is chosen and parameters are calculated for it on the basis of statistical data. Importantly, the same neural network architecture can be used to process different sets of statistical data. The disadvantages of using neural networks include the need to calculate a large number of parameters. There is also no universal algorithm that would determine the optimal neural network architecture. As an example of the use of neural networks to determine the borrower's rating, a model system is considered, in which the borrower's rating is determined by a known non-analytical rating function. A neural network with two inner layers, which contain, respectively, three and two neurons and have a sigmoid activation function, is used for modeling. It is shown that the use of the neural network allows restoring the borrower's rating function with quite acceptable accuracy.

Power Quality disturbances problems have gained widespread interest worldwide due to the proliferation of power electronic load such as adjustable speed drives, computer, industrial drives, communication and medical equipments. This paper presents a technique based on wavelet and probabilistic neural network to detect and classify power quality disturbances, which are harmonic, voltage sag, swell and oscillatory transient. The power quality disturbances are obtained from the waveform data collected from premises, which include the UiTM Sarawak, Faculty of Science Computer in Shah Alam, Jati College, Menara UiTM, PP Seksyen 18 and Putra LRT. Reliable Power Meter is used for data monitoring and the data is further processed using the Microsoft Excel software. From the processed data, power quality disturbances are detected using the wavelet technique. After the disturbances being detected, it is then classified using the Probabilistic Neural Network. Sixty data has been chosen for the training of the Probabilistic Neural Network and ten data has been used for the testing of the neural network. The results are further interfaced using matlab script code.  Results from the research have been very promising which proved that the wavelet technique and Probabilistic Neural Network is capable to be used for power quality disturbances detection and classification.
