<br>
am 21.06 (nächster Dienstag) besucht uns am MPI für
neurologische Forschung in Köln Yasuomi Sato (Kyushu Institute
of Technology, Dept. Brain Science and Engineering, Brain-Like
Information Processing Machines Division, Japan,
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.brain.kyutech.ac.jp/brain_e/people/">http://www.brain.kyutech.ac.jp/brain_e/people/</a>), der sich mit
Modellen der Synchronisation und Desynchronisation in neuronalen
Netzwerken beschäftigt. Er wird ein Vortrag halten (Titel und
Abstract unten, 13:30, Seminarraum 2, 2. Stock) und natürlich
ist er sehr gern bereit, über seine Arbeit zu diskutieren. Alle,
die sich für dieses Thema interessieren, sind hiermit herzlich
eingeladen!<br>

TITLE:<br>
Introduction: Theoretical and Computational Analyses on
Synchronization of Neuronal Activities.<span> </span><br>
<br>
ABSTRACT:<br>
We briefly explain not only research backgrounds on studying
mechanisms of synchronization of<span> </span><br>
neuronal activity, but also theoretical and computational
analyses on synchronization phenomena<span> </span><br>
in a pair of coupled neuronal oscillators. In these analyses,
derivations of a one-dimensional<span> </span><br>
phase equation and the response curves (PRCs) for neuronal
oscillators are significantly<span> </span><br>
necessary for theoretical understanding. The derivation method
of the phase equation, called the<span> </span><br>
phase reduction method, is to describe external perturbations as
the phase. Many of researchers<span> </span><br>
have been trying theoretical construction of this method. Also,
in 2005, the experimental<span> </span><br>
corrections were showed by observing so-called spike time
advances in the physiological<span> </span><br>
experiment, related to the PRCs. This shows further
developmental possibilities for the phase<span> </span><br>
reduction method as well as the theoretical analysis on
synchronization using the obtained phase<span> </span><br>
equation. We show (i) construction of the phase reduction for a
weakly coupled of stochastic<span> </span><br>
oscillator systems and (ii) Neural temperature modulated PRCs
and synchronization transition.<br>
