  2. 11. Emotion and Learning - A Computational Model of the Amygdala

    Author : Jan Morén; Kognitionsvetenskap; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Applied and experimental psychology; Sociologi; Sociology; orbitofrontal cortex; learning; hippocampus; emotions; computational models; mygdala; classical conditioning; Tillämpad och experimentell psykologi; Philosophy; Filosofi;

    Abstract : The amygdala is a small subcortical structure that has long been implicated in the conditioning of fear and other emotions. It is heavily interconnected to a number of both cortical and subcortical structures and is thus well placed to integrate sensory inputs from multiple areas to produce emotional reactions directly as well as influence learning and attention systems.

  4. 12. Treatment of whiplash associated disorders

    Author : Aris Seferiadis; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; whiplash-associated disorders; systematic review; randomized controlled trial; McKenzie method; fear-avoidance; chronic pain; exercise therapy; basic body awareness;

    Abstract : Whiplash injuries seem to have a substantial impact on health. Half the affected patients have persistent pain and disability and significant costs are incurred to society, mainly due to inability to return to work. READ MORE

  5. 13. Investigations of neural attractor dynamics in human visual awareness

    Author : David N. Silverstein; Pawel Herman; Martin Ingvar; Karl Friston; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; attractor dynamics; visual awareness; visual perception; visual attention; attentional blink; backward masking; gliomas; brain tumor; white matter; cell assemblies; neocortical model; threat response; fear signaling; amygdala; Biological Physics; Biologisk fysik; Computer Science; Datalogi; Tillämpad matematik och beräkningsmatematik; Applied and Computational Mathematics;

    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

  6. 14. 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

  7. 15. Learning from the behaviors and experiences of others

    Author : Ida Selbing; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Learning to fear and avoid what is dangerous is crucial for survival. Perhaps equally important is the ability to learn that something which was previously dangerous is now safe. READ MORE
