Noise-immune zeroing neural dynamics for dynamic signal source localization system and robotic applications in the presence of noise by Yuxin Zhao, Jiahao Wu, Mianjie Zheng

“…To address this issue, a noise-immune zeroing neural dynamics (NIZND) model is proposed. The NIZND model is a brain-inspired algorithm that incorporates an integral term and an activation function into the traditional zeroing neural dynamics (ZND) model, designed to effectively mitigate noise interference during localization tasks. …”

No significant relationship found between spontaneous motor tempo, heartbeat, and individual alpha frequency: an analysis of internal tempos by Tamaka Harada, Giovanna Mioni, Nicola Cellini, Yuko Yotsumoto

“…Changes in heart rate are also linked to time estimation, while Individual Alpha Frequency (IAF), the peak in the alpha range (8–13 Hz) observed in EEG, is reported to reflect the brain’s temporal processing. Despite the associations of SMT, heart rate, and IAF with intrinsic tempo, their interrelations remain unexplored. …”
