Explorations with a neurorobotic model in a behavioural preference task. Homeostatic plasticity and emergence of functional networks in a whole brain model at criticality skip to main content thank you for visiting. Here we present a model based on selforganized criticality and taking into account brain plasticity, which is able to reproduce the spectrum of electroencephalograms eeg. Homeostatic plasticity and emergence of functional. In physics, selforganized criticality soc is a property of dynamical systems that have a critical point as an attractor. Their macroscopic behavior thus displays the spatial or temporal scaleinvariance characteristic of the critical point of a phase transition, but without the need to tune control parameters to a precise value, because the system, effectively, tunes itself as it evolves. Selforganized criticality model for brain plasticity. Here we present a model that is based on selforganized criticality and takes into account brain plasticity, which is able to reproduce. Here we present a model that is based on selforganized criticality and takes into account brain plasticity, which is able to reproduce the spectrum of electroencephalograms eeg. With only three oscillators, this simple model displays selforganized criticality in the form of robust 1. Fading memory, plasticity, and criticality in recurrent. Selforganized criticality as a fundamental property of.
Selforganized criticality, plasticity and sensorimotor coupling. Theoretical and experimental studies show that critical systems often exhibit optimal computational properties, suggesting the possibility that criticality has been evolutionarily selected as a useful trait for our nervous system. Phase transitions and selforganized criticality in. The model consists in an electrical network with threshold firing and activitydependent synapse strenghts. Toward a theory of selforganized criticality in the brain.
The model consists of a simulated robot controlled by a network of kuramoto oscillators with homeostatic plasticity and the ability to develop behavioural preferences mediated by sensorimotor patterns. Selforganized criticality, plasticity and sensorimotor. Herrmann3 1 department of information engineering and infmcoherentia, second university of naples, 81031 aversa ce, italy 2 university of catanzaro magna graecia, dept. Pdf selforganized criticality model for brain plasticity. Criticality signatures, in the form of powerlaw distributed neuronal avalanches, have been widely measured in vitro and provide the foundation for the socalled critical brain hypothesis, which. He believes it could be used to model the mind in all its possible states. Dynamical synapses causing selforganized criticality in neural net. The neural criticality hypothesis states that the brain may be poised in a critical state at a boundary between different types of dynamics. The system exhibits an avalanche activity power law distributed. Brain networks are also known to exhibit plasticity. We report analytic and computational results about phase transitions and selforganized criticality soc in networks with general stochastic neurons. Chialvo envisions selforganized criticality providing a broader, more fundamental theory for neuroscientists, like those found in physics.
