Neural activity and new methods of computational analysis in the model of mammalian brain cortex

Abstract

Analysis of the real brain’s neural activity can be performed in many different ways like forexample electroencephalography. Sometimes the value of neural membrane potential is collectedeven from particular cells, using electrodes in neurophysiological experiments. However, thisinvasive method can be performed only on animals and in most cases leads to death of theexperiment’s subject. Computer modelling and simulation are often very important for the designof real experiments and in this paper we present the set of three new methods of neurodynamicalanalysis, two of them analogical to the probing used in neurophysiology andelectroencephalography. We show that in some cases our approach can be even more effectivethan the techniques used in bio-medical laboratories.
