Product Description
This book addresses a large variety of models in mathematical and computational neuroscience. It is written for the experts as well as for graduate students wishing to enter this fascinating field of research. The author studies the behaviour of large neural networks composed of many neurons coupled by spike trains. He devotes the main part to the synchronization problem. He presents neural net models more realistic than the conventional ones by taking into account the detailed dynamics of axons, synapses and dendrites, allowing rather arbitrary couplings between neurons. He gives a complete stabile analysis that goes significantly beyond what has been known so far. He also derives pulse-averaged equations including those of the Wilson-Cowan and the Jirsa-Haken-Nunez types and discusses the formation of spatio-temporal neuronal activity pattems. An analysis of phase locking via sinusoidal couplings leading to various kinds of movement coordination is included. |

| Information and Self-Organization: A Macroscopic Approach to Complex Systems (Springer Series in Synergetics)
by Hermann Haken (Author)
This book presents the concepts needed to deal with self-organizing complex systems from a unifying point of view that uses macroscopic data. The various meanings of the concept "information" are discussed and a general formulation of the maximum information (entropy) principle is used. With the aid of results from synergetics, adequate objective constraints for a large class of self-organizing systems are formulated and examples are given from physics, life and computer science.

| Theoretical Neuroscience: Computational and Mathematical Modeling of Neural Systems
by Peter Dayan (Author), L. F. Abbott (Author)
Theoretical neuroscience provides a quantitative basis for describing what nervous systems do, determining how they function, and uncovering the general principles by which they operate. This text introduces the basic mathematical and computational methods of theoretical neuroscience and presents applications in a variety of areas including vision, sensory-motor integration, development, learning, and memory.
The book is divided into three parts. Part I discusses the...

| Chemical Oscillations, Waves, and Turbulence
by Y. Kuramoto (Author)
A fundamental and frequently cited book in two very exciting fields: pattern formation and synchronization of oscillators. Provides asymptotic methods that can be applied to the dynamics of self-oscillating fields of the reaction-diffusion type and of some related systems. Graduate level. 40 figures.
