About this Research Topic
Computational Neuroscience is a rapidly evolving field that seeks to understand the brain's complex functions through computational models and simulations. Recently, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) has revolutionized traditional signal processing methods, offering new avenues for decoding, modeling, and predicting neural activities. Despite significant advancements, several gaps remain, particularly in the seamless integration of ML techniques with existing neuroscience frameworks. Current studies have shown promising results in areas such as brain-computer interfaces and neural network modeling, yet the full potential of these technologies is far from being realized. Addressing these gaps requires a concerted effort to refine ML algorithms, validate computational models against empirical data, and explore novel applications in neurobiological research.
This research topic aims to explore the deployment of machine learning for signal processing within the field of computational neuroscience. The primary objective is to gather and disseminate cutting-edge research that enhances our understanding of how ML can be harnessed to improve the efficacy of neural data decoding, modeling, and prediction. Specific questions include: How can ML techniques optimize brain-computer interfaces? What are the best practices for integrating ML with traditional signal processing methods? How can computational models be validated against empirical data to ensure accuracy and reliability?
To gather further insights in the intersection of computational neuroscience and machine learning, we welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:
- Integrating signal processing and machine learning for brain-computer interfaces and sensor networks
- Modeling the learning brain and developing efficient algorithms for neurobiological data prediction
- Neural networks and deep learning applications in computational neuroscience
- Probabilistic brain models and Bayesian learning for predicting brain responses
- Sequential learning and decision methods in neural coding
- Information-theoretic approaches to understanding neural data
- Graphical and kernel models for brain network analysis
- Validation of computational models against empirical neuroscience data
- Signal detection, pattern recognition, and classification in neural data
- High-dimensional neural data analysis
- Machine learning for big neuroscience data
- Unsupervised and semi-supervised learning in neurobiology
- Active and reinforcement learning in simulated neural systems
- Multi-modal neuroimaging
