Artificial neural network-based modeling of brain response to flicker light

Abstract

Not only does the modeling of dynamical systems, for instance the biological systems, play an important role in the accurate perception and analysis of these systems, but it also makes the prediction and control of their behavior straightforward. The results of multiple researches in the field of the modeling of biological systems have indicated that the chaotic behavior is a prevalent feature of most complex interactive biological systems. Our results demonstrate that the artificial neural network provides us an effective means to model the underlying dynamics of these systems. In this paper, at first, we represent the results of the use of a multilayer feed-forward neural network to model some famous chaotic systems. The specified neural network is trained with the return maps extracted from the time series. We proceed with the paper by evaluating the accuracy and robustness of our model. The ability of the select neural network to model the dynamics of chosen chaotic systems is verified, even in the presence of noise. Afterwards, we model the brain response to the flicker light. It is known that the brain response to some stimuli such as the flicker light recorded as electroretinogram is an exemplar of chaotic behavior. The need remains, however, for realistic modeling of this behavior of the brain. In this paper, we represent the results of the modeling of this chaotic response by utilizing the proposed neural network. The capability of the neural network to model this specific brain response is confirmed.

“…The neuronal system composed of neurons and gliocytes is exquisitely sensitive to external forcing and internal shifts in functional parameters, strongly suggesting that an adequate explanation will include the dynamical properties of chaotic systems (Baghdadi et al, 2015;Crevier and Meister, 1998;Falahian et al, 2015;Faure and Korn, 2001;Jafari et al, 2013aJafari et al, , 2013bJafari et al, , 2013cJansen, 1991;Korn and Faure, 2003;Molaie et al, 2014;Preissl et al, 1996;Pritchard and Duke, 1995;Schiff et al, 1994).…”

Adaptable Hamiltonian neural networks

“…We ask if it is possible to design HNNs, which are trained with data from a small number of parameter values of the target system, to have the predictive power for parameter values that are not in the training set. Inspired by the recent work on predicting critical transitions and collapse in dissipative dynamical systems based on reservoir computing [37][38][39][40][41], we articulate a class of HNNs whose input layer contains a set of channels that are specifically used for inputting the values of the distinct parameters of interest to the neural network. The number of the parameter channels is equal to the number of freely varying parameters in the target Hamiltonian system.…”

A New Chaotic System with a Self-Excited Attractor: Entropy Measurement, Signal Encryption, and Parameter Estimation

“…As we know, modeling of the real world chaotic systems has received great attention in recent decades [ 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 ]. Choosing proper values for model parameters is essential in chaotic systems, since they are very sensitive, both to model parameters and initial conditions.…”
