We present a confidence-based single-layer feed-forward learning algorithm SPIRAL (Spike Regularized Adaptive Learning) relying on an encoding of activation spikes. We adaptively update a weight vector relying on confidence estimates and activation offsets relative to previous activity. We regularize updates proportion…
Background: In cognitive neuroscience the potential of Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) for solving complex classification tasks is yet to be fully exploited. The most limiting factor is that DNNs as notorious 'black boxes' do not provide insight into neurophysiological phenomena underlying a decision. Layer-wise Relevance …
The study explores how brain development can inspire efficient deep learning models.
Neural recordings are nonstationary time series, i.e. their properties typically change over time. Identifying specific changes, e.g. those induced by a learning task, can shed light on the underlying neural processes. However, such changes of interest are often masked by strong unrelated changes, which can be of physi…
Derives time-averaged active inference from control principles.
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) outperform traditional classification methods in many domains. Recently these methods have gained attention in neuroscience and particularly in brain-computer interface (BCI) community. Here, we introduce a CNN optimized for classification of brain states from magnetoencephalographic…
As societies around the world are ageing, the number of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients is rapidly increasing. To date, no low-cost, non-invasive biomarkers have been established to advance the objectivization of AD diagnosis and progression assessment. Here, we utilize Bayesian neural networks to develop a multivari…
Novel NDL framework improves spike detection accuracy and channel localization in EEG/MEG data.
We show that fMRI analysis using machine learning tools are sufficient to distinguish valence (i.e., positive or negative) of freely retrieved autobiographical memories in a cross-participant setting. Our methodology uses feature selection (ReliefF) in combination with boosting methods, both applied directly to data re…
Compensating changes between a subjects' training and testing session in Brain Computer Interfacing (BCI) is challenging but of great importance for a robust BCI operation. We show that such changes are very similar between subjects, thus can be reliably estimated using data from other users and utilized to construct a…
Improved robust latent variable estimation for neural dynamics.
A new hierarchy quantifies agency in systems based on information processing.
Electromagnetic stimulation of the human brain is a key tool for the neurophysiological characterization and diagnosis of several neurological disorders. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is one procedure that is commonly used clinically. However, personalized TMS requires a pipeline for accurate head model gener…
The analysis of scientific data of increasing size and complexity requires statistical machine learning methods that are both interpretable and predictive. Union of Intersections (UoI), a recently developed framework, is a two-step approach that separates model selection and model estimation. A linear regression algori…
Recent work suggests goal-driven training of neural networks can be used to model neural activity in the brain. While response properties of neurons in artificial neural networks bear similarities to those in the brain, the network architectures are often constrained to be different. Here we ask if a neural network can…

Inspired by brain's modality fusion, this paper detects active speakers from audio and video.
Objective: Schizophrenia seriously affects the quality of life. To date, both simple (linear discriminant analysis) and complex (deep neural network) machine learning methods have been utilized to identify schizophrenia based on functional connectivity features. The existing simple methods need two separate steps (i.e.…
Disagreement is an essential element of science and life in general. The language of probabilities and statistics is often used to describe disagreements quantitatively. In practice, however, we want much more than that. We want disagreements to be resolved. This leaves us with a substantial knowledge gap which is ofte…
New model handles complex output dependence in large datasets.
A major tenet in theoretical neuroscience is that cognitive and behavioral processes are ultimately implemented in terms of the neural system dynamics. Accordingly, a major aim for the analysis of neurophysiological measurements should lie in the identification of the computational dynamics underlying task processing. …
