Existing neural network models are capable of tracking linear trajectories of moving visual objects. This paper describes an additional neural mechanism, disfacilitation, that enhances the ability of a visual system to track curved trajectories. The added mechanism combines information about an object's trajectory with information about changes in the object's trajectory, to improve the estimates for the object's next probable location. Computational simulations are presented that show how the neural mechanism can learn to track the speed of objects and how the network operates to predict the trajectories of accelerating and decelerating objects.

In this paper, the artificial neural network method was used for Electrocardiogram (ECG) pattern analysis. The analysis of the ECG can benefit from the wide availability of computing technology as far as features and performances as well. This paper presents some results achieved by carrying out the classification tasks by integrating the most common features of ECG analysis. Four types of ECG patterns were chosen from the MIT-BIH database to be recognized, including normal sinus rhythm, long term atrial fibrillation, sudden cardiac death and congestive heart failure. The R-R interval features were performed as the characteristic representation of the original ECG signals to be fed into the neural network models. Two types of artificial neural network models, SOM (Self- Organizing maps) and RBF (Radial Basis Function) networks were separately trained and tested for ECG pattern recognition and experimental results of the different models have been compared. The trade-off between the time consuming training of artificial neural networks and their performance is also explored. The Radial Basis Function network exhibited the best performance and reached an overall accuracy of 93% and the Kohonen Self- Organizing map network reached an overall accuracy of 87.5%.

AbstractMany students suffer from anxiety when performing numerical calculations. Mathematics anxiety is a condition that has a negative effect on educational outcomes and future employment prospects. While there are a multitude of behavioral studies on mathematics anxiety, its underlying cognitive and neural mechanism remain unclear. This article provides a systematic review of cognitive studies that investigated mathematics anxiety. As there are no prior neural network models of mathematics anxiety, this article discusses how previous neural network models of mathematical cognition could be adapted to simulate the neural and behavioral studies of mathematics anxiety. In other words, here we provide a novel integrative network theory on the links between mathematics anxiety, cognition, and brain substrates. This theoretical framework may explain the impact of mathematics anxiety on a range of cognitive and neuropsychological tests. Therefore, it could improve our understanding of the cognitive and neurological mechanisms underlying mathematics anxiety and also has important applications. Indeed, a better understanding of mathematics anxiety could inform more effective therapeutic techniques that in turn could lead to significant improvements in educational outcomes.

Soil fertility refers to the ability of a soil to supply plant nutrients. Naturally, micro and macro elements are made available to plants by breakdown of the mineral and organic materials in the soil. Artificial neural network (ANN) provides deeper understanding of human cognitive capabilities. Among various methods of ANN and learning an algorithm, self-organizing maps (SOM) are one of the most popular neural network models. The aim of this study was to classify the factors influencing soil fertility in Shiraz plain, southern Iran. The relationships among soil features were studied using the SOM in which, according to qualitative data, the clustering tendency of soil fertility was investigated using seven parameters (N, P, K, Fe, Zn, Mn, and Cu). The results showed that for soil fertility there is a close relationship between P and N, and also between P and Zn. The other parameters, such as K, Fe, Mn, and Cu, are not mutually related. The results showed that there are six clusters for soil fertility and also that group 1 soils are more fertile than the other.

A large class of neural network models have their units organized in a lattice with fixed topology or generate their topology during the learning process. These network models can be used as neighborhood preserving map of the input manifold, but such a structure is difficult to manage since these maps are graphs with a number of nodes that is just one or two orders of magnitude less than the number of input points (i.e., the complexity of the map is comparable with the complexity of the manifold) and some hierarchical algorithms were proposed in order to obtain a high-level abstraction of these structures. In this paper a general structure capable to extract high order information from the graph generated by a large class of self–organizing networks is presented. This algorithm will allow to build a two layers hierarchical structure starting from the results obtained by using the suitable neural network for the distribution of the input data. Moreover the proposed algorithm is also capable to build a topology preserving map if it is trained using a graph that is also a topology preserving map.

AbstractSequential neural activity has been observed in many parts of the brain and has been proposed as a neural mechanism for memory. The natural world expresses temporal relationships at a wide range of scales. Because we cannot know the relevant scales a priori it is desirable that memory, and thus the generated sequences, are scale-invariant. Although recurrent neural network models have been proposed as a mechanism for generating sequences, the requirements for scale-invariant sequences are not known. This paper reports the constraints that enable a linear recurrent neural network model to generate scale-invariant sequential activity. A straightforward eigendecomposition analysis results in two independent conditions that are required for scaleinvariance for connectivity matrices with real, distinct eigenvalues. First, the eigenvalues of the network must be geometrically spaced. Second, the eigenvectors must be related to one another via translation. These constraints are easily generalizable for matrices that have complex and distinct eigenvalues. Analogous albeit less compact constraints hold for matrices with degenerate eigenvalues. These constraints, along with considerations on initial conditions, provide a general recipe to build linear recurrent neural networks that support scale-invariant sequential activity.

AbstractThe purpose of this study is to develop a method to discriminate spectral signatures in wound tissue. We have collected a training set of the intensity of the remitted light for different types of wound tissue from different patients using a TIVITA™ tissue camera. We used a neural network technique (self-organizing map) to group areas with the same spectral properties together. The results of this work indicates that neural network models are capable of finding clusters of closely related hyperspectral signatures in wound tissue, and thus can be used as a powerful tool to reach the anticipated classification. Moreover, we used a least square method to fit literature spectra (i.e. oxygenated haemoglobin (O2Hb), deoxygenated haemoglobin (HHb), water and fat) to the learned spectral classes. This procedure enables us to label each spectral class with the corresponding absorbance properties for the different absorbance of interest (i.e. O2Hb, HHb, water and fat). The calculated parameters of a testing set were consistent with the expected behaviour and show a good agreement with the results of a second algorithm which is used in the TIVITA™ tissue camera.
