5. 3. Towards Emotion inspired Computational Intelligence (EiCI)

   Author : Mahboobeh Parsapoor; Bertil Svensson; Urban Bilstrup; Jorge Armony; Högskolan i Halmstad; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : One of the main challenges in the computational intelligence (CI) community is to develop nature-inspired algorithms that can efficiently solve real-world problems such as the prediction of space weather phenomena. An early example in this context is taking inspiration from the biological neurons in the mammal’s nervous system and developing an artificial neuron. READ MORE

6. 4. Brain Emotional Learning-Inspired Models

   Author : Mahboobeh Parsapoor; Bertil Svensson; Urban Bilstrup; Christian Balkenius; Högskolan i Halmstad; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : In this thesis the mammalian nervous system and mammalian brain have been used as inspiration to develop a computational intelligence model based on the neural structure of fear conditioning and to extend the structure of the previous proposed amygdala-orbitofrontal model. The proposed model can be seen as a framework for developing general computational intelligence based on the emotional system instead of traditional models on the rational system of the human brain.

   Abstract : Background: Safety in the housing environment is a basic human need and may be a prerequisite for health but studies from the perspective of the residents are limited in the literature. Although historically public health research has recognized the housing environment as an important determinant of health, there is a need for more research on how housing conditions influence residential well-being.
