An attempt to fit all parameters of a dynamical recurrent neural network from sensory neural spiking data

2018

A simulation based study on model fitting for sensory neurons from stimulus/response data is presented. The employed model is a continuous time recurrent neural network (CTRNN) which is a member of models with known universal …
