Neural State
Neural state research focuses on understanding the dynamic patterns of brain activity underlying cognition and behavior. Current efforts utilize diverse approaches, including deep learning models like variational recurrent neural networks and convolutional networks, to analyze fMRI and EEG data, often incorporating techniques like attention mechanisms and topological data analysis to extract meaningful representations of neural dynamics. This research aims to improve our understanding of brain function, leading to advancements in brain-computer interfaces, personalized medicine (e.g., using neurofeedback learning patterns for diagnosis), and the development of more sophisticated artificial intelligence systems inspired by biological neural networks.
