Sentences with phrase «from patterns of neural activity»

The translation relies on a decoder, an algorithm that infers the movement intentions of the user from the patterns of their neural activity.

For instance, suppose that experiment after experiment showed that brain wave patterns deviate most from patterns of neural activity when people are making what look like free choices.

Not exact matches

A team of researchers from the Department of Evolutionary Neuroethology, led by Sonja Bisch - Knaden, has investigated whether neural activity patterns linked to either feeding or egg - laying behavior can already be observed in the antennal lobe, which is the first processing level of scents in the insect brain.

«It makes sense that the brain would mimic the feeling of reward it gets from an enjoyable experience by producing the corresponding pattern of neural activity.

In this study they measured phase response curves from a computer simulation of brain activity, predicted what stimulus patterns would suppress the neural oscillations, and then demonstrated that the stimulation patterns predicted to suppress the oscillations were in fact effective.

This shift of perspective invites a change of approach: instead of charting average firing rates of single neurons, we must infer behaviorally relevant neural codes from evolving activity patterns across neural populations.

Interestingly, these neural - activity patterns appeared somewhat distinct from those that usually appear when brain - scan subjects complete tasks associated with emotions like empathy or thinking about other peopleâ $ ™ s points of view, which is consistent with the idea that gratitude is a unique emotion.
