Although the basal ganglia have been widely studied and implicated in signal processing action selection, little information is known about active role striatal microcircuit plays selection ganglia-thalamo-cortical loops. To address this knowledge gap we use a large scale three dimensional spiking model of striatum, combined with rate coded loop, to asses computational striatum selection. We identify robust transient phenomena generated by microcircuit, which temporarily enhances difference...
In stakeholder participation workshops, digital and hard-copy maps, alongside other representation formats in 2D 3D, are used extensively to support communication, spatial evaluation interactive decision making processes. this paper, we present a novel tool enhance traditional map-based workshop activities using augmented reality. Augmented reality technology is gaining momentum as for visualising environmental design choices planning design, range of applications including participation,...
Planning is a process in which the contents of planning gradually refined. However, research communication and perception often conducted using contrasting scenarios, e.g. by comparing with/without case. It not surprising that drastic differences content representation result significant perception. Instead, as reflection sequential evolving projects practice, we are focusing on two phases with only subtle (2015 2018) for new high-rise development district Guangzhou. We introduce 3D...
Abstract The fruit fly is a key model organism for studying the activity of interconnected brain circuits. A large scattered global research community neurobiologists and neurogeneticists, computational theoretical neuroscientists, computer scientists engineers has been developing vast trove experimental modeling data that yet to be distilled into new knowledge understanding functional logic brain. Developing open shared models, modelling tools repositories can accessed from anywhere in...
In the planning and design of natural urban environments, visualization plays an increasingly important role. It has become a core component communication dissemination within various formats project representation, environmental assessment, workshops, stakeholder involvement in general. However, as practical technology, outputs our visualizations are, too often, regarded static product rather than living evolving tool itself, often due to inherent restrictions present both analog digital...
Summary The Fruit Fly Brain Observatory (FFBO) is a collaborative effort between experimentalists, theorists and computational neuroscientists at Columbia University, National Tsing Hua University Sheffield with the goal to (i) create an open platform for emulation biological validation of fruit fly brain models in health disease, (ii) standardize tools methods graphical rendering, representation manipulation circuits, (iii) data its abstractions support natural language queries, (iv) focus...
Summary NeuroNLP, is a key application on the Fruit Fly Brain Observatory platform (FFBO, http://fruitflybrain.org ), that provides modern web-based portal for navigating fruit fly brain circuit data. Increases in availability and scale of connectome data, demand new, scalable accessible methods to facilitate investigation into functions latest complex circuits being uncovered. NeuroNLP enables in-depth exploration structure circuits, using intuitive natural language queries are capable...
<h3>Background</h3> Cognitive functions are found to generally decline in manifest HD. However, data published by our group (Beste <i>et al</i>, <i>J Neurosci</i> 2008;<b>28</b>:11695–702) challenged this view showing that some cognitive domains related attentional processes showed an elevated level of performance. While we could only speculate about the possible mechanisms study, now provide neurocomputational insights neurobiological may mediate counterintutive pattern results....
