Book Description
Spike's adopted family are all a little green in the face—that's because they're aliens! They're in a spaceship heading towards their planet, Aledela, and Spike is going with them. At first Spike is excited, but the planet is strange and he's picked on at school. When he eventually runs away he becomes lost—but finds answers with a wise old man and a pile of dung.

Time-Space, Spiking Neural Networks and Brain-Inspired Artificial Intelligence
Author: Nikola K. Kasabov
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3662577151
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 742
Book Description
Spiking neural networks (SNN) are biologically inspired computational models that represent and process information internally as trains of spikes. This monograph book presents the classical theory and applications of SNN, including original author’s contribution to the area. The book introduces for the first time not only deep learning and deep knowledge representation in the human brain and in brain-inspired SNN, but takes that further to develop new types of AI systems, called in the book brain-inspired AI (BI-AI). BI-AI systems are illustrated on: cognitive brain data, including EEG, fMRI and DTI; audio-visual data; brain-computer interfaces; personalized modelling in bio-neuroinformatics; multisensory streaming data modelling in finance, environment and ecology; data compression; neuromorphic hardware implementation. Future directions, such as the integration of multiple modalities, such as quantum-, molecular- and brain information processing, is presented in the last chapter. The book is a research book for postgraduate students, researchers and practitioners across wider areas, including computer and information sciences, engineering, applied mathematics, bio- and neurosciences.

Space-Time Computing with Temporal Neural Networks
Author: James E. Smith
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3031017544
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
Understanding and implementing the brain's computational paradigm is the one true grand challenge facing computer researchers. Not only are the brain's computational capabilities far beyond those of conventional computers, its energy efficiency is truly remarkable. This book, written from the perspective of a computer designer and targeted at computer researchers, is intended to give both background and lay out a course of action for studying the brain's computational paradigm. It contains a mix of concepts and ideas drawn from computational neuroscience, combined with those of the author. As background, relevant biological features are described in terms of their computational and communication properties. The brain's neocortex is constructed of massively interconnected neurons that compute and communicate via voltage spikes, and a strong argument can be made that precise spike timing is an essential element of the paradigm. Drawing from the biological features, a mathematics-based computational paradigm is constructed. The key feature is spiking neurons that perform communication and processing in space-time, with emphasis on time. In these paradigms, time is used as a freely available resource for both communication and computation. Neuron models are first discussed in general, and one is chosen for detailed development. Using the model, single-neuron computation is first explored. Neuron inputs are encoded as spike patterns, and the neuron is trained to identify input pattern similarities. Individual neurons are building blocks for constructing larger ensembles, referred to as "columns". These columns are trained in an unsupervised manner and operate collectively to perform the basic cognitive function of pattern clustering. Similar input patterns are mapped to a much smaller set of similar output patterns, thereby dividing the input patterns into identifiable clusters. Larger cognitive systems are formed by combining columns into a hierarchical architecture. These higher level architectures are the subject of ongoing study, and progress to date is described in detail in later chapters. Simulation plays a major role in model development, and the simulation infrastructure developed by the author is described.

ISBN: 1316352218
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 397
Book Description
This authoritative work provides an in-depth treatment of state space methods, with a range of applications in neural and clinical data. Advanced and state-of-the-art research topics are detailed, including topics in state space analyses, maximum likelihood methods, variational Bayes, sequential Monte Carlo, Markov chain Monte Carlo, nonparametric Bayesian, and deep learning methods. Details are provided on practical applications in neural and clinical data, whether this is characterising time series data from neural spike trains recorded from the rat hippocampus, the primate motor cortex, or the human EEG, MEG or fMRI, or physiological measurements of heartbeats or blood pressures. With real-world case studies of neuroscience experiments and clinical data sets, and written by expert authors from across the field, this is an ideal resource for anyone working in neuroscience and physiological data analysis.

The Development of Outer Space
Author: Thomas Gangale
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 031337824X
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 334
Book Description
This account of the evolution of outer space law examines key issues that fuel the debates over sovereignty and property rights designed to govern the future colonization and use of heavenly bodies other than our own. In the United States, lobbies for the commercial development of space have become increasingly antagonistic toward the international legal regime of outer space, condemning the 1967 Outer Space Treaty and the unratified 1979 Moon Agreement as anti-business. The Development of Outer Space: Sovereignty and Property Rights in International Space Law argues that the res communis principle enshrined in the Outer Space Treaty was misrepresented here, with essential help from corporate lobbyists whose real object was the defeat of the Law of the Sea Convention. Thomas Gangale builds the legal case for reviving the moribund Moon Agreement as a prelude to negotiating a second Moon treaty to establish a regulatory regime for the exploitation of extraterrestrial resources. The author's account of the inception and evolution of outer space law to date is deeply informed by his appreciation of such terrestrial considerations as the nation-state system, the contending economic theories of capitalism and communism, and the post-colonial struggle between the developed space-faring nations and the developing earthbound nations.
