| Simulation Project Title |
A model of auditory processing using short-term & long-term synaptic mechanisms. |
| Type of model |
Don't know yet |
| Description |
In this project, we will incorporate short-term and long-term synaptic plasticity
mechanisms into a network of synapses and neurons, in order to investigate how these
mechanisms could contribute to the early stages of auditory signal processing at the primary
auditory cortex. The role of the ensemble of these two mechanisms in contradictory
sluggishness/accuracy properties of the auditory cortex, and the way they interact which each
other to make this contribution, should be investigated. |
| Why complementary |
In a previous study in the field of auditory signal processing (Modeling the primary
auditory cortex using dynamic synapses: can, to be published in J Theor Biol) I used the
dynamic synapse model and I utilized genetic algorithm to regulate its parameters. It may be
possible somehow - to regulate these parameters using long-term plasticity mechanisms instead
of GA. This approach was successful in modeling wind-up (my other study). |
