Modeling the tonotopic map using a two-dimensional array of neural oscillators.

ABSTRACT: We present a model of a tonotopic map known as the Oscillatory Tonotopic Self-Organizing Map (OTSOM). It is a 2-dimensional, self-organizing array of Hopf oscillators, capable of performing a Fourier-like decomposition of the input signal. While the rows in the map encode the input phase, the columns encode frequency. Although Hopf oscillators exhibit resonance to a sinusoidal signal when there is a frequency match, there is no obvious way to also achieve phase tuning. We propose a simple method by which a pair of Hopf oscillators, unilaterally coupled through a coupling scheme termed as modified power coupling, can exhibit tuning to the phase offset of sinusoidal forcing input. The training of OTSOM is performed in 2 stages: while the frequency tuning is adapted in Stage 1, phase tuning is adapted in Stage 2. Earlier tonotopic map models have modeled frequency as an abstract parameter unconnected to any oscillation. By contrast, in OTSOM, frequency tuning emerges as a natural outcome of an underlying resonant process. The OTSOM model can possibly be regarded as an approximation of the tonotopic map found in the primary auditory cortices of mammals, particularly exemplified in the studies of echolocating bats.

Project description:A typical lock-and-key sensing strategy, relying only on the most dominant interactions between the probe and target, could be too limiting. In reality, the information received upon sensing is much richer. Non-specific events due to various intermolecular forces contribute to the overall received information with different degrees, and when analyzed, could provide a much more powerful detection opportunity. Here, we have assembled a highly selective universal sensor array using water-soluble two-dimensional nanoparticles (nGO, MoS2 and WS2) and fluorescent DNA molecules. The array is composed of 12 fluorescently silent non-specific nanoreceptors (2D-nps) and used for the identification of three radically different systems; five proteins, three types of live breast cancer cells and a structure-switching event of a macromolecule. The data matrices for each system were processed using Partial Least Squares (PLS) discriminant analysis. In all of the systems, the sensor array was able to identify each object or event as separate clusters with 95% confidence and without any overlap. Out of 15 unknown entities with unknown protein concentrations tested, 14 of them were predicted successfully with correct concentration. 8 breast cancer cell samples out of 9 unknown entities from three cell types were predicted correctly. During the assembly of each nanoprobe, the intrinsic non-covalent interactions between unmodified 2D nanoparticles and ssDNAs were exploited. The unmodified 2D materials offer remarkable simplicity in the layout and the use of ssDNAs as probes provides limitless possibilities because the natural interaction of a ssDNA and 2D surface can be fine-tuned with the nucleobase composition, oligonucleotide length and type of 2D nanomaterial. Therefore, the approach described here can be advanced and fine-tuned indefinitely for meeting a particular sensing criterion. Though we have only studied three distinct elements, this approach is universal enough to be applied to a wide-range of systems.
