1. Investigations of neural attractor dynamics in human visual awareness
Abstract : What we see, how we see it and what emotions may arise from stimuli has long been studied by philosophers, psychologists, medical doctors and neuroscientists. This thesis work investigates a particular view on the possible dynamics, utilizing computational models of spiking neural attractor networks. READ MORE

2. An Attractor Memory Model of Neocortex
Abstract : This thesis presents an abstract model of the mammalian neocortex. The model was constructed by taking a top-down view on the cortex, where it is assumed that cortex to a first approximation works as a system with attractor dynamics. READ MORE

3. Oscillations and spike statistics in biophysical attractor networks
Abstract : The work of this thesis concerns how cortical memories are stored and retrieved. In particular, large-scale simulations are used to investigate the extent to which associative attractor theory is compliant with known physiology and in vivo dynamics. READ MORE

4. Gene Regulatory Networks: Dynamics and Stability
Abstract : Life as we know it is based on cells that use proteins and RNA to carry out metabolism, self-replication, and other essential tasks. The genes that code for these molecules are encoded in DNA, and through the processes of transcription and translation the cell expresses its genes. READ MORE

5. Nonlinear dynamics in transitional wall-bounded flows
Abstract : This thesis focuses on numerical studies of subcritical transition to turbulence in shear flows. The thesis employs a framework based on nonlinear dynamics in the subsequent studies. The geometrical approach to subcritical transition pivots the concepts of edge manifold and edge state. READ MORE
