ARTIE: An Integrated Environment for the Development of Affective Robot Tutors.

abstract：:We address a question on the effect of common stochastic inputs on the correlation of the spike trains of two neurons when they are coupled through direct connections. We show that the change in the correlation of small amplitude stochastic inputs can be better detected when the neurons are connected by direct excitat...
