You may remember to ask your pharmacist if a new drug you are prescribed could interfere with any other medications you are taking. But certain foods and beverages may be problematic, too. According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 42% of… Read Full Article (External Site) Dr. David LowemannDr. David Lowemann, […]

What lies behind a baby’s eyes

We give meaning to our world through the categorization of objects. When and how does this process begin? By studying the gaze of one hundred infants, scientists have demonstrated that, by the age of fourth months, babies can assign objects that they have never seen to the animate or inanimate category. These findings reveal measurable […]

Parameter Estimation of Two Spiking Neuron Models With Meta-Heuristic Optimization Algorithms

The automatic fitting of spiking neuron models to experimental data is a challenging problem. The integrate and fire model and Hodgkin–Huxley (HH) models represent the two complexity extremes of spiking neural models. Between these two extremes lies two and three differential-equation-based models. In this work, we investigate the problem of parameter estimation of two simple […]
