A leaky integrate and fire (LIF) model is a basic mathematical model designed to simulate a neuron. The simplicity and relative ease with which network architectures can be constructed using patterns of LIF neurons make ...

Bi-directional exchange of information between the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and a computer interface can be achieved through the use of a peripheral nerve interface (PNI). Sophisticated PNI’s can be used to augment ...

Anosmia is an olfactory disease that is associated with the inability to smell. This disease affects 3-20% of the population, consisting of younger as well as aged adults. Anosmia is found mostly in aged adults, that are ...
