Life and understanding: the origins of “understanding” in self-organizing nervous systems
YM Yufik, K Friston - Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2016 - frontiersin.org
This article is motivated by a formulation of biotic self-organization in Friston, where the
emergence of “life” in coupled material entities (eg, macromolecules) was predicated on …

Prefrontal neural dynamics in consciousness
U León-Domínguez, J León-Carrión - Neuropsychologia, 2019 - Elsevier
Abstract The Prefrontal Cortex (PFC) is one of the principal brain regions studied in

Differential heterogenesis and the emergence of semiotic function
In this study, we analyse the notion of “differential heterogenesis” proposed by Deleuze and
Guattari on a morphogenetic perspective. We propose a mathematical framework to …

Visual illusions via neural dynamics: Wilson–Cowan-type models and the efficient representation principle
We reproduce suprathreshold perception phenomena, specifically visual illusions, by Wilson–
Cowan (WC)-type models of neuronal dynamics. Our findings show that the ability to …

Analysis of vessel connectivities in retinal images by cortically inspired spectral clustering
M Favali, S Abbasi-Sureshjani… - Journal of Mathematical …, 2016 - Springer
Retinal images provide early signs of diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and hypertension.
These signs can be investigated based on microaneurysms or smaller vessels. The …

Functional architecture of M1 cells encoding movement direction
In this paper we propose a neurogeometrical model of the behaviour of cells of the arm area
of the primary motor cortex (M1). We will mathematically express as a fiber bundle the …

A geometric model of multi-scale orientation preference maps via Gabor functions
In this paper we present a new model for the generation of orientation preference maps in
the primary visual cortex (V1), considering both orientation and scale features. First we …
