“…Similar to the 'electrosensory refractoriness avoidance' described in the South American gymnotiform Gymnotus (Guariento et al 2014), which is based on a strongly reduced sensitivity to electrical signals for a short period following each EOD in these functionally similar, but unrelated weakly electric fish (Westby 1975) echoing mormyrids ensure that a sender places its EOD after the period of reafferent inhibition of the receiver's knollenorgans, while simultaneously avoiding coincidence with the receiver's next EOD. This refractoriness avoidance through echoing will therefore guarantee that the receiver can detect the signal generated by the sender.…”

“…The system described in this paper (source code at [8]) can be applied to neuroscience research both on in vivo or in vitro experiments requiring deterministic timing and synchronous stimuli generation, such as the study of neural coding on the visual system of flies [21]. It can also be applied to experiments in neuroethology, for example on the analysis of electrocommunication signals produced by pulse-type electric fish [22,23,24,25]. The employed digital pulse timestamping technique allows to achieve a measurement precision in the order of 1 µs, much higher than most ADC-based acquisition systems.…”

“…(17) Modelos simplificados similares são comumente utilizados para estudar sincronização de grupos de neurônios. (18,19) Explico o modelo e a metodologia no capítulo 3, e no capítulo 4 exponho meus resultados. Em especial, aponto que a performance da rede parece não estar ligada exatamente com a existência de leis de potência, mas com a otimização de uma entropia do sistema.…”
