Introduction: neuronal, cortical, and network foundations -- Stochastic neurodynamics -- Short-term memory and stochastic dynamics -- Attention and stochastic dynamics -- Probabilistic decision-making -- Confidence and decision-making -- Perceptual detection and stochastic dynamics -- Applications of this stochastic dynamical theory to brain function -- Mean-field analyses, and stochastic dynamics
Summary
The activity of neurons in the brain is 'noisy' in that their firing times are random when they are firing at a given rate. This book explores randomness in the operation of brain cells showing how it can be advantageous in decision-making, in memory and in many other brain functions
