Functional Near-Infrared Optical Imaging (fNIR) is a promising neuroimaging technology which measures hemodynamics of the brain in response to neural activity. Applications for this technology are broad and include optical brain imaging, cognition (e.g. working memory, decision making processes, mental fatigue), neuroergonomics, neuromarketing, and muscle oxygenation studies. Like fMRI, the technology is noninvasive and has a high temporal resolution. However, unlike fMRI, fNIR is portable, affordable and much less sensitive to motion. Modern devices are increasingly miniaturized, allowing them to be used in a wide range of experimental conditions, including outside and in moving subjects.
In this webinar hosted by BIOPAC, Alex Dimov of BIOPAC and Davood Tashayyod of fNIR Devices discuss the strengths, best practices and applications of fNIR technology for neuroscience research. They also present a live demo showcasing the latest fNIR equipment—including the new Mobile System and Through-the-Hair Sensor—and show how they can be used to study human cognition and brain function.

A STDP RULE THAT FAVOURS CHAOTIC SPIKING OVER REGULAR SPIKING OF NEURONSijaia
We compare the number of states of a Spiking Neural Network (SNN) composed from chaotic spiking
neurons versus the number of states of a SNN composed from regular spiking neurons while both SNNs
implementing a Spike Timing Dependent Plasticity (STDP) rule that we created. We find out that this
STDP rule favors chaotic spiking since the number of states is larger in the chaotic SNN than the regular
SNN. This chaotic favorability is not general; it is exclusive to this STDP rule only. This research falls
under our long-term investigation of STDP and chaos theory.

3. Review of the neuron
Action potential- very rapid
change in membrane
potential when a nerve cell
membrane is stimulated.
Resting potential (typically -
70 mV) to some positive
value (typically about +30
mV).
Threshold stimulus &
threshold potential(generally
5 - 15 mV less negative than
the resting potential)
4. Neuron model
Biological neuron model- mathematical
description of the properties of nerve cells.
Artificial neuron model- aims for computational
effectiveness.
5. Artificial neuron abstraction
Consists of-
an input with some synaptic
weight vector
an activation
function or transfer
function inside the neuron
determining output.
Oj=f( ∑wijei )
6. Biological abstraction
In the case of modelling a biological neuron-
Physical analogues are used in place of abstractions
such as “weight” and “transfer function’’.
Ion current through the cell membrane is described by
a physical time-dependent current I(t)
Insulating cell membrane determines a capacitance
C m.
A neuron responds to such a signal with a change
in voltage, or an electrical potential energy difference
between the cell and its surroundings, sometimes
resulting in a voltage spike called an action potential.

Integrate-and-Fire based Neuron
Model
L. F. Abbott*, 21 May 1999, Lapicque’s introduction of
the integrate-and-fire model neuron (1907)
8. IAF model
One of the earliest models of a neuron.
First investigated in 1907 by Louis
Lapicque.
Lapicque modeled the neuron using an
electric circuit consisting of a parallel capacitor
and resistor.
When the membrane capacitor was charged to
certain threshold potential
an action potential would be generated
the capacitor would discharge
9. Theoretical idea
In a biologically realistic neural network, it often
takes multiple input signals in order for a neuron to
propagate a signal.
Multiple input signals goes from one neuron to the
next, increasing the effect of one firing by however
many connection there are(done by adjusting the
weights between each neuron).
Every neuron has a certain threshold at which it
goes from stable to firing.
When a cell reaches its threshold and fires, its
signal is passed onto the next neuron, which may
or may not cause it to fire.
10. contd…
If the neuron does not fire, its potential will be raised
so that if it receives another input signals within a
certain time frame, it will be more likely to fire.
If the neuron does fire, then the signal will be
propagated onto the next neuron.
After this, the just-fired neuron goes into a refractory
state, in which it doesn't respond to or propagate
input signals from other neurons.
This increased potential to fire starts to dampen
soon after the input is received.
11. Mathematical representation
A neuron is represented in time by
When an input current is applied, the
membrane voltage increases with time until it
reaches a constant threshold Vth , at which point
a delta function spike occurs and the voltage is reset
to its resting potential, after which the model
continues to run.
The firing frequency of the model increases linearly
without bound as input current increases.
12. contd…
By introducing a refractory period tref , we limit the
firing frequency of a neuron by preventing it from
firing during that period.
Firing frequency as a function of a constant
input current is:
Shortcoming:
It implements no time-dependent memory. If the
model receives a below-threshold signal at some
time, it will retain that voltage boost forever until it
fires again.
13. 13 Leaky integrate and fire model
http://lcn.epfl.ch/~gerstner/SPNM/node26.html
14. Description
In the leaky integrate-and-fire model, the
memory problem is solved by adding a "leak"
term to the membrane potential.
It reflects the diffusion of ions that occurs
through the membrane when some equilibrium
is not reached in the cell.
(1)
Rm is the membrane resistance
threshold Ith = Vth / Rm
15. contd…
When input current exceeds threshold Ith , it
causes the cell to fire, else it will simply leak
out any change in potential.
firing frequency is:
16. contd…
We multiply equation
(1) by R(resistance)
and considering Ω=R
Cm of the “leaky
integrator” to get-

18. Spike-response model..
18
Generalization of the leaky integrate-and-
fire model
Gives a simple description of action
potential generation in neurons
Spike response model includes refractoriness
19. SRM: Mathematical Formulation
19
The membrane potential in the spike response model is
given by
Here t’ is the firing time of the last spike
η describes the form of the action potential
Κ the linear response to an input pulse
I(t) is a stimulating current
The next spike occurs if the membrane potential u hits a
threshold Ɵ(t-t’) from below in which case t’ is updated
20. SRM: Mathematical Formulation (..contd)
20
The threshold Ɵ is not fixed but depends on
the time since the last spike
threshold is higher immediately after a spike
then it decays back to its resting value
The spike shape η is a function of the time
since the last spike
Itcan describe a depolarizing, hyperpolarizing, or
resonating spike-after potential
21. SRM: Mathematical Formulation (..contd)
21
The responsiveness Κ to an input pulse
depends on the time since the last spike
since many ion channels are open
typically the effective membrane time constant after a
spike is shorter
The time course of the response Κ can include
a single exponential
combinations of exponentials with different time
constants
or resonating behavior in form of a delayed oscillation
(This is the case if the standard Hodgkin-Huxley model is
approximated by the Spike Response Model)
22. SRM: Simulating Refractoriness
22
Refractoriness can be modelled as a
combination of
increased threshold
hyperpolarizing afterpotential
and reduced responsiveness after a spike
[as observed in real neurons (Badel et al., 2008)]
23. SRM: η (..contd)

25. SRM: Fits to experimental data
25
SRM can be fitted to experimental data where
a neuron is stimulated
26. SRM: Fits to experimental data (…contd.)
26
SRM fits experimental data to a high degree of
accuracy
Predicts a large fraction of spikes with a
precision of +/-2ms, (Jolivet et al., 2006).
27. Variations of SRM: SRM0
27
A simplified version of the SRM.
Does not include a dependence of the response
kernel K upon the time since the last spike
The threshold can be dynamic as before
Easier to fit to experimental data than the full
SRM
since it needs less data (Jolivet et al. 2006)
28. Cumulative Spike Response Model
28
Refractoriness and adaptation are modeled by
the combined effects of the spike
afterpotentials of several previous spikes
And not the most recent spike
The advantage of the cumulative model is that it
accounts for adaptation and bursting
29. SRM with a cumulative dynamic
threshold
29
Value of the threshold depends on all previous
spikes
and not only the most recent one
The threshold Ɵ is calculated as
tk denotes previous moments of spike firing
Ɵo is the value of the threshold at rest
v(t-tk) describes the effect of a spike at time tk
30. Noise in the SRM
30
Noise can be included into the SRM by
replacing the strict threshold criterion,
u(t) = Ɵ, by a stochastic process
The probability P of firing a spike within a very
short time Δt is
P = ρ(t) Δt
where the instantaneous firing rate ρ(t) is a function of
the momentary difference between the membrane
potential u(t) and the threshold Ɵ(t),
ρ = f(u - Ɵ)
31. Effects not captured by a SRM
31
Pharmacological blocking of ion channels
Biophysics of the neuronal membrane is not
described explicitly
combined effects of several ion channel are
captured
model cannot make predictions about blocking of
individual ion channels
Delayed spike initiation due to different
amplitude of the input pulse
because of the strict threshold criterion
Dependence of the threshold upon the input
32. Adaptive Exponential Integrate-and-
32

Exponential Integrate-and-Fire Model as an
Effective Description of Neuronal Activity, J.
Neurophysiol. 94: 3637 - 3642.
33. AdEx
33
A spiking neuron model with two equations
The first equation describes the dynamics of
the membrane potential
includes an activation term with an exponential
voltage dependence
Voltage is coupled to a second equation which
describes adaptation
Both variables are reset if an action potential has
been triggered
34. AdEx: Mathematical Definition
(…contd.)
34
The model is described by two differential
equations
V is the membrane potential C the membrane capacitance
I the input current EL the leak reversal potential
gL the leak conductance ΔT the slope factor
VT the threshold w the adaptation variable
a is the adaptation coupling parameter τw is the adaptation time constant
35. AdEx (…contd.)
35
Exponential nonlinearity describes the process of spike
generation and the upswing of the action potential
a spike is said to occur at the time tf when the
membrane potential V diverges towards infinity
The downswing of the action potential is a reset
of the voltage to a fixed Vr
at t=tf reset V→Vr
Also, change the adaption value by b:
w = w +b
36. AdEx: Adaptation

AdEx model to
a series of
regularly spaced

Resting potential marked by cross time
reset values marked by squares
[Naud, Marcille, Colpath, Gerstner (2008), Firing patterns in the adaptive exponential integrate-and-fire model]
39. AdEx: Bursting
39
Bursting with 3 spikes per burst in the AdEx model
Bursting occurs when the reset value Vr is high, so that spikes are produced
quickly after reset, until adaptation builds up
[Naud, Marcille, Colpath, Gerstner (2008), Firing patterns in the adaptive exponential integrate-and-fire model]
40. AdEx: Firing Pattern
40
Red- regular firing
Yellow- Adaptive
Initial bursting-
Green
Blue- Regular
bursting
Black- Irregular-
chaotic
Figure shows how the choice of reset of voltage (horizontal) and adaptation (vertical)
influences firing patterns
41. Fitting to real Neurons’ data
41
The parameters of the AdEx model can be fit
to match the response of neurons
usingsimple electrophysiological protocols
(current pulses, steps and ramps)
AdEx model can reproduce up to 96% of the
spike times of a regular-spiking Hodgkin–
Huxley-type model
[Brette and Gerstner, 2005]
42. Fitting to real neurons (…contd.)
42
With the same
set of
parameters,
AdEx reproduces
spikes of the
Hodgkin-Huxley
model for various
firing rates.
43. Some Limitations
43
Single-compartment model
But works fine
Sodium channel activation is instantaneous
In H-H model activation of the sodium current (via
the m variable) is rapid, but lags the evolution of the
voltage by a short time in the millisecond range
Downswing of action potential is by resetting to
a fixed value after the spike
Rapid potassium currents (and also partially by
sodium channel inactivation) is neglected
44. Some Limitations (…contd.)
44
Refractoriness is only represented by the reset of
voltage and adaptation variables
in real neurons refractoriness is due to increase in
the firing threshold and conductance after a spike and
a change in the momentary equilibrium potential
Conductance effects are ignored, because the
adaptation variable enters as a current
