2. 1. Uncertainties in Neural Networks : A System Identification Approach

   Author : Magnus Malmström; Fredrik Gustafsson; Isaac Skog; Daniel Axehill; Håkan Hjalmarsson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; neural networks; uncertainty; system identification;

   Abstract : In science, technology, and engineering, creating models of the environment to predict future events has always been a key component. The models could be everything from how the friction of a tire depends on the wheels slip  to how a pathogen is spread throughout society. READ MORE

4. 2. Silicon neural interfaces -Design and biomedical aspects-

   Author : Lars Wallman; Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Elektronik och elektroteknik; Electronics and Electrical technology; pn-etch stop; biocompatibility; neural recordings; porous silicon; silicon; neural interface; sieve electrode; General biomedical sciences; Biomedicinska vetenskaper allmänt ;

   Abstract : This thesis covers the development of a silicon neural interface, with focus on silicon sieve electrode fabrication, design, nerve regeneration, signal recording and biocompatibility. A study of how the via hole size and transparency of the perforated sieve membrane influences the nerve regeneration is presented together with a study on soft tissue responses to planar and porous silicon.

5. 3. Infrared Neural Modulation: Photothermal Effects on Cortex Neurons Using Infrared Laser Heating

   Author : Qingling Xia; Tobias Nyberg; Björn Granseth; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; neural modulation; infrared laser; in - vitro experiment; multi - electrode arrays MEA ; heating model; temperature; neural networks; infrared neural inhibition INI ; hyperexcitation;

   Abstract : It would be of great value to have a precise and non-damaging neuromodulation technique in the field of basic neuroscience research and for clinical treatment of neurological diseases. Infrared neural modulation (INM) is a new modulation modality developed in the last decade, which uses pulsed or continues infrared (IR) light with a wavelength of 1200 to 2200 nm to directly alter neural signals.

6. 4. SACRED or NEURAL? : Neuroscientific Explanations of Religious Experience: A Philosophical Evaluation

   Author : Anne L. C. Runehov; Mikael Stenmark; J. Wentzel van Huyssteen; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Philosophy of religion; Neuroscience; Neurotheology; Persinger; d Aquili; Newberg; neuroimaging technology; epilepsy; meditation; explanatory models; reductionism; religious experience; science and theology; Religionsfilosofi; Philosophy of religion; Religionsfilosofi; Philosophy of Religion; religionsfilosofi;

   Abstract : Neuroscientists place different explanations at our disposal of what religious experiences are. Some neuroscientists explain religious experiences in terms of consequences of a damaged, malfunctioning or mentally deranged brain. Others explain them in terms of existential crises. READ MORE

7. 5. Artificial neural networks : applications in morphometric and landscape features analysis

   Author : Amir Houshang Ehsani; Fredrich Quiel; Wolter Arnberg; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Environmental engineering; Miljöteknik;

   Abstract : In this thesis a semi-automatic method is developed to analyze morphometric features and landscape elements based on Self Organizing Map (SOM) as a unsupervised Artificial Neural Network algorithm. Analysis and parameterization of topography into simple and homogenous land elements (landform) can play an important role as basic information in planning processes and environmental modeling.
