Range-based ICA using a nonsmooth quasi-newton optimizer for electroencephalographic source localization in focal epilepsy.

abstract：:In this letter, we propose a noisy nonlinear version of independent component analysis (ICA). Assuming that the probability density function (p. d. f.) of sources is known, a learning rule is derived based on maximum likelihood estimation (MLE). Our model involves some algorithms of noisy linear ICA (e. g., Bermond & ...

abstract：:The emergence of synchrony in the activity of large, heterogeneous networks of spiking neurons is investigated. We define the robustness of synchrony by the critical disorder at which the asynchronous state becomes linearly unstable. We show that at low firing rates, synchrony is more robust in excitatory networks tha...
