Neuronal networks

Neuronal networks are nowadays predominantly applied in classification tasks. Here, three kind of networks are tested First the backpropagation network is used, due to the fact that it is the most robust and common network. The other two networks which are considered within this study have special adapted architectures for classification tasks. The Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) Network consists of a neuronal structure that represents the LVQ learning strategy. The Fuzzy Adaptive Resonance Theory (Fuzzy-ART) network is a sophisticated network with a very complex structure but a high performance on classification tasks. Overviews on this extensive subject are given in [2] and [6]. 

The architecture of a backpropagation neuronal network is comparatively simple. The network consists of different neurone layers. The layer connected to the network input is called input layer while the layer at the network output is called the output layer. The different layers between input and output are named hidden layers. The number of neurones in the layers is determined by the developer of the network. Networks used for classification have commonly as much input neurones as there are features and as much output neurones as there are classes to be separated.

This line of research has not lost his momentum. One of the reasons is the eontinuing progress in the computer hardware and software. Methods and algorithms are, and will be, continuously updated to exploit new features made available by eomputer seienee, as for example the parallel architectures, or the neuronal networks, to mention things at present of widespread interest, or even conceptually less significant improvements, as the inerease of fast memory in commereial computers. Computer quantum chemistry is not a mere recipient of progresses in eomputer seienee. Many progresses in the software comes from...

Activity that leads to network selection and integration (e.g. 40 Hz syn-chronicity), distinct from the vast parallel array of neuronal networks involved in non-conscious processing. 

The state of conscious awareness, with orientation of self in time and space, depends on hnely tuned and accurately co-ordinated activity in multiple neuronal networks in the brain (Park Young, 1994). Such activity involves parallel processing in many cortical and subcortical pathways including arousal and memory systems (Chapters 3 and 4) and systems involved in mood (Chapters 5 and 18) and utilises an orchestra of many neurotransmitters. The whole ensemble appears to be synchronised by high frequency (40+ Hz) oscillatory electrical activity which binds the component parts together (Llinas et ah, 1998 Tallon-Baudry Bertrand, 1999). 

We start with the premise that conscious awareness is a functional property of the human brain and that its material basis can be illuminated by current neurobiological concepts. The brain contains an array of neuronal networks, the incredible complexity of which limits our understanding of the mecha-... 

Problems like overlapping and interfering of fluorophores is overcome by the BioView sensor, which offers a comprehensive monitoring of the wide spectral range. Multivariate calibration models (e.g., partially least squares (PLS), principal component analysis (PCA), and neuronal networks) are used to filter information out of the huge data base, to combine different regions in the matrix, and to correlate different bioprocess variables with the courses of fluorescence intensities.
