Paper results for keyword: Neural firingTime dependent decision-making dynamic priorities in the AHP/ANP: Generalizing from points to functions and from real to complex variables
Thomas SaatyJournal: Mathematical and Computer ModellingBecause good decisions depend on the conditions of the future, and because conditions vary over time, to make a good decision requires judgments of what is more likely or more preferred over different time periods. There are at least three ways to deal with dynamic decisions. One is to include in...
Read MoreAutomatic decision-making: Neural firing and response
Thomas SaatyJournal: Journal of Systems Science and Systems EngineeringIn contrast with conscious decision-making, there are numerous subconscious decisions that we make without thinking about them. Some are biological and are made by different parts of our body to keep it alive and functioning normally. Others are a result of repetition and training that we can the...
Read MoreRatio Scales are Critical for Modeling Neural Synthesis in the Brain
Thomas SaatyJournal: Artificial Neural Nets and Genetic AlgorithmsThe brain generally miniaturizes its perceptions into what may be regarded as a model of what happens outside. We experience the world according to the capacity of our nervous system to register the stimuli we receive. In order to understand and control the environment there needs to be proportio...
Read MoreRepresentation of visual response to neural firing
Thomas Saaty, Luis VargasJournal: Mathematical and computer modellingIn this note, we give examples of the use of linear combinations of impulse response functions to represent visual images. We also derive expressions for estimating the parameters of these functions using the Fourier transform of stimuli.

Thomas Saaty, Luis VargasJournal: Applied Mathematics LettersWe extend our earlier work on positive reciprocal kernels of Fredholm integral operators [9] to study firings and their synthesis in neural networks. First, we show that, in general, neural response in
both spontaneous and non-spontaneous firing give rise to generalized functions of the Dirac t...
