| Title | Brain Dynamics : An Introduction to Models and Simulations |
| Author(s) | Haken, Hermann |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2008. |
| Description | XIV, 333 p. 85 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Brain Dynamics serves to introduce graduate students and nonspecialists from various backgrounds to the field of mathematical and computational neurosciences. Some of the advanced chapters will also be of interest to the specialists. The book approaches the subject through pulse-coupled neural networks, with at their core the lighthouse and integrate-and-fire models, which allow for the highly flexible modelling of realistic synaptic activity, synchronization and spatio-temporal pattern formation. Topics also include pulse-averaged equations and their application to movement coordination. The book closes with a short analysis of models versus the real neurophysiological system. The second edition has been thoroughly updated and augmented by two extensive chapters that discuss the interplay between pattern recognition and synchronization. Further, to enhance the usefulness as textbook and for self-study, the detailed solutions for all 34 exercises throughout the text have been added |

| Title | Quantitative Analysis in Nuclear Medicine Imaging |
| Author(s) | Zaidi, Habib |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer US, 2006. |
| Description | XI, 583 p. 166 illus., 56 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book provides a review of image analysis techniques as they are applied in the field of diagnostic and therapeutic nuclear medicine. Driven in part by the remarkable sophistication of nuclear medicine instrumentation and - crease in computing power and its ready and inexpensive availability, this is a relatively new yet rapidly expanding field. Likewise, although the use of nuclear imaging for diagnosis and therapy has origins dating back almost to the pioneering work of Dr G. de Hevesy, quantitative imaging has only recently emerged as a promising approach for diagnosis and therapy of many diseases. An effort has, therefore, been made to place the reviews provided in this book in a broader context. The effort to do this is reflected by the inclusion of introductory chapters that address basic principles of nuclear medicine instrumentation and dual-modality imaging, followed by overview of issues that are closely related to quantitative nuclear imaging and its potential role in diagnostic and therapeutic applications. A brief overview of each chapter is provided below. Chapter 1 presents a general overview of nuclear medicine imaging physics and instrumentation including planar scintigraphy, single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography (PET). Nowadays, patients??? diagnosis and therapy is rarely done without the use of imaging technology. As such, imaging considerations are incorporated in almost every chapter of the book. The development of dual-modality - aging systems is an emerging research field, which is addressed in chapter 2 |

| Title | Lectures in Supercomputational Neuroscience : Dynamics in Complex Brain Networks |
| Author(s) | Graben, Peter;Zhou, Changsong;Thiel, Marco;Kurths, J??rgen |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2008. |
| Description | X, 377 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Computational Neuroscience is a burgeoning field of research where only the combined effort of neuroscientists, biologists, psychologists, physicists, mathematicians, computer scientists, engineers and other specialists, e.g. from linguistics and medicine, seem to be able to expand the limits of our knowledge. The present volume is an introduction, largely from the physicists' perspective, to the subject matter with in-depth contributions by system neuroscientists. A conceptual model for complex networks of neurons is introduced that incorporates many important features of the real brain, such as various types of neurons, various brain areas, inhibitory and excitatory coupling and the plasticity of the network. The computational implementation on supercomputers, which is introduced and discussed in detail in this book, will enable the readers to modify and adapt the algortihm for their own research. Worked-out examples of applications are presented for networks of Morris-Lecar neurons to model the cortical connections of a cat's brain, supported with data from experimental studies. This book is particularly suited for graduate students and nonspecialists from related fields with a general science background, looking for a substantial but "hands-on" introduction to the subject matter |

| Title | Information and Self-Organization : A Macroscopic Approach to Complex Systems |
| Author(s) | Haken, Hermann |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2006. |
| Description | XIV, 258 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book presents the concepts needed to deal with self-organizing complex systems from a unifying point of view that uses macroscopic data. The various meanings of the concept "information" are discussed and a general formulation of the maximum information (entropy) principle is used. With the aid of results from synergetics, adequate objective constraints for a large class of self-organizing systems are formulated and examples are given from physics, life and computer science. The relationship to chaos theory is examined and it is further shown that, based on possibly scarce and noisy data, unbiased guesses about processes of complex systems can be made and the underlying deterministic and random forces determined. This allows for probabilistic predictions of processes, with applications to numerous fields in science, technology, medicine and economics. The extensions of the third edition are essentially devoted to an introduction to the meaning of information in the quantum context. Indeed, quantum information science and technology is presently one of the most active fields of research at the interface of physics, technology and information sciences and has already established itself as one of the major future technologies for processing and communicating information on any scale. This book addresses graduate students and nonspecialist researchers wishing to get acquainted with the concept of information from a scientific perspective in more depth. It is suitable as a textbook for advanced courses or for self-study |

| Title | On the Construction of Artificial Brains |
| Author(s) | Ramacher, Ulrich;von der Malsburg, Christoph |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2010. |
| Description | 370 p. 142 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book presents a first generation of artificial brains, using vision as sample application. An object recognition system is built, using neurons and synapses as exclusive building elements. The system contains a feature pyramid with 8 orientations and 5 resolution levels for 1000 objects and networks for binding of features into objects. This vision system can recognize objects robustly in the presence of changes in illumination, deformation, distance and pose (as long as object components remain visible). The neuro-synaptic network owes its functional power to the introduction of rapidly modifiable dynamic synapses. These give a network greater pattern recognition capabilities than are achievable with fixed connections. The spatio-temporal correlation structure of patterns is captured by a single synaptic differential equation in a universal way. The correlation can appear as synchronous neural firing, which signals the presence of a feature in a robust way, or binds features into objects. Although in this book we can present only a first generation artificial brain and believe many more generations will have to follow to reach the full power of the human brain, we nevertheless see a new era of computation on the horizon. There were times when computers, with their precision, reliability and blinding speed, were considered to be as superior to the wet matter of our brain as a jet plane is to a sparrow. These times seem to be over, given the fact that digital systems inspired by formal logic and controlled algorithmically - today's computers - are hitting a complexity crisis. A paradigm change is in the air: from the externally organised to the self-organised computer, of which the results described in this book may give an inkling |

| Title | La strana storia della luce e del colore |
| Author(s) | Guzzi, Rodolfo |
| Publication | Milano, Springer Milan, 2011. |
| Description | X, 190 pagg : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Sino al 1600 la luce era oggetto di studio degli scienziati ed il colore dei filosofi. Questa dicotomia fu superata dall???Esperimentum Crucis di Newton che spiego??? come la luce contenesse il colore. Il libro analizza le teorie che furono sviluppate dai greci, per evolversi successivamente nelle teorie degli scienziati arabi e approdare al medio evo. Con l???Esperimentum Crucis Newton dimostro??? che la luce conteneva i colori primari. Tra gli esperimenti che egli fece ci furono anche quelli sulla percezione che risultarono sbagliati; solo Goethe capi??? quale era la vera portata di quegli esperimenti e li rifece dando una interpretazione che, oggi, sappiamo essere vera, ma che a quel tempo fu alquanto osteggiata. Nel frattempo la comunita??? scientifica progrediva sul concetto di visione e di sensazione, poiche??? gli strumenti di indagine si raffinavano. Bisogna pero??? arrivare ai giorni nostri per avere una spiegazione sul comportamento della luce e del colore e come questa viene percepita da noi. Solo con la nascita della fisica moderna e della QED (Quanto Elettro Dinamica) si incomincio??? a scoprire la vera essenza della luce e del colore e solo con lo studio delle neuroscienze si inizio??? a capire quali aree del cervello fossero interessate al colore. Queste scienze sono ancora agli albori e ogni giorno subiscono delle variazioni per cui, qui, verranno trattate solo quelle scoperte che hanno un fondamento stabile. Il libro ha un taglio divulgativo e si rivolge a persone di media cultura, pur trattando gli argomenti in modo approfondito ed esaustivo |
