We investigate the stochastic disruption of synchronization patterns in a system of two non-identical Rulkov neurons coupled via an electrical synapse. By analyzing the system deterministic dynamics, we identify regions of mono-, bi-, and tristability, corresponding to distinct synchronization regimes as a function of coupling strength. Introducing...
Hypergraph analysis extends traditional graph theory by enabling the study of complex, many-to-many relationships in networks, offering powerful tools for understanding brain connectivity. This case study introduces a novel methodology for constructing both graphs and hypergraphs of functional brain connectivity during figurative attention tasks, w...
We propose an approach to replicate a stochastic system and forecast its dynamics using a reservoir computing (RC). We show that such machine learning models enable the prediction of the behavior of stochastic systems in a wide range of control parameters. However, the quality of forecasting depends significantly on the training approach used for t...

We investigate the synchronization dynamics of two non-identical, mutually coupled Rulkov neurons, emphasizing the effects of coupling strength and parameter mismatch on the system’s behavior. At low coupling strengths, the system exhibits multistability, characterized by the coexistence of three distinct 3-cycles. As the coupling strength is incre...
Restoring neural function after brain injury is a critical medical challenge, as conventional treatments often fail to achieve full recovery. This makes the development of innovative regenerative medicine and biomedical engineering strategies particularly necessary. This study aims to fill the existing gap in neuromorphic engineering by mimicking b...

As our understanding of the brain continues to advance, so too does the demand for sophisticated tools that can model, simulate, and interpret the intricate data generated by contemporary neuroimaging and electrophysiological techniques [...]
Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) is a prevalent form of childhood blood cancer characterized by the proliferation of immature white blood cells that rapidly replace normal cells in the bone marrow. The exponential growth of these leukemic cells can be fatal if not treated promptly. Classifying lymphoblasts and healthy cells poses a significant ch...
Figurative attention is a captivating cognitive process that involves maintaining sustained focus on a preferred interpretation of an ambiguous stimulus. This process entails voluntary attention and is directly related to perceptual bistability. Quantifying figurative attention reveals an individual's ability to interpret ambiguous information, the...
The increasing growth in knowledge about the functioning of the nervous system of mammals and humans, as well as the significant neuromorphic technology developments in recent decades, has led to the emergence of a large number of brain–computer interfaces and neuroprosthetics for regenerative medicine tasks. Neurotechnologies have traditionally be...
We developed a mathematical model to simulate dynamics associated with the proliferation of Geobacter and ultimately optimize cellular operation by analyzing the interaction of its components. The model comprises two segments: an initial part comprising a logistic form and a subsequent segment that incorporates acetate oxidation as a saturation ter...

We construct hypergraphs to analyze functional brain connectivity, leveraging event-related coherence in magnetoencephalography (MEG) data during the visual perception of a flickering image. Principal network characteristics are computed for the delta, theta, alpha, beta, and gamma frequency ranges. Employing a coherence measure, a statistical esti...

We present an innovative method harnessing multistability within a diode-pumped erbium-doped fiber laser to construct logic gates. Our approach involves manipulating the intensity of external noise to regulate the probability of transitioning among four concurrent attractors. In this manner, we facilitate the realization of OR, AND, NOT, and NOR lo...
We present a novel method for analyzing brain functional networks using functional magnetic resonance imaging data, which involves utilizing consensus networks. In this study, we compare our approach to a standard group-based method for patients diagnosed with major depressive disorder (MDD) and a healthy control group, taking into account differen...
We present a novel closed-loop system designed to integrate biological and artificial neurons of the oscillatory type into a unified circuit. The system comprises an electronic circuit based on the FitzHugh-Nagumo model, which provides stimulation to living neurons in acute hippocampal mouse brain slices. The local field potentials generated by the...
We numerically investigate the dynamics of a ring consisting of three unidirectionally coupled Erbium-Doped Fiber Lasers (EDLFs) without external pump modulation. The study focuses on the system behavior as the coupling strength is varied, employing a six-dimensional mathematical model that includes three variables for laser intensities and three v...
We study the synchronous dynamics of three diffusively coupled erbium-doped fiber lasers (EDLFs) in the unidirectional ring configuration without external pump modulation. The dynamical behavior of the system is analyzed using time series, Fourier spectra, Poincaré sections, bifurcation diagrams, and Lyapunov exponents for different values of the c...
This work proposes an experimental scheme that injects the optical power of an array of three driven erbium-doped fiber lasers (EDFLs), which dynamics exhibit the coexistence of multiple attractors. The laser array is controlled by a driver EDFL by injecting its optical intensity to the three coupled driven EDFLs array to induce an attractor tracki...
The overview of the latest advances in magnetoencephalography (MEG) technology, including the development of optically pumped magnetometers (OPM), is presented. The main advantage of OPM over conventional superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUID) is the absence of cryogenic cooling, which reduces the cost of equipment by 2-3 times. Moreo...
