Control of Linear-Threshold Brain Networks via Reservoir Computing by Michael McCreesh, Jorge Cortes

“…Given the impracticality of evaluating closed-form control signals, particularly with growing network complexity, we provide a framework where a reservoir of a larger size than the network is trained to drive the activity to the desired pattern. We illustrate the versatility of this setup in two applications: selective recruitment and inhibition of neuronal populations for goal-driven selective attention, and network intervention for the prevention of epileptic seizures.…”

Stress-Softening and Residual Strain Effects in Suture Materials by Alex Elías-Zúñiga, Beatriz Montoya, Wendy Ortega-Lara, Eduardo Flores-Villalba, Ciro A. Rodríguez, Hector R. Siller, José A. Díaz-Elizondo, Oscar Martínez-Romero

“…The basis of this model is the inclusion of a phenomenological nonmonotonous softening function that depends on the strain intensity between loading and unloading cycles. The theory is illustrated by modifying the non-Gaussian average-stretch, full-network model to capture stress-softening and residual strains by using pseudoelasticity concepts. …”
