The Relationship between the Firing Rate of a Single Neuron and the Level of Activity in a Population of Neurons : Experimental Evidence for Resonant Enhancement in the Population Response
Bruce Knight
Jan 01, 0001
A quantitative comparison is made between experiment and the theoretically predicted dynamics of a neuron population. The experiment confirms the theoretical prediction that under appropriate conditions an enlarged resonant...
Canonical Field Theory -- A Prototype Example
Bruce Knight
Jan 01, 0001
The equations of a field may be put into a standard "Lagrangian" form from which several conservation laws follow directly. As an illustrative example, a string free to vibrate in two directions is investigated; this example...
