Survey of Fuzzy Logic Applications in Brain-Related Researches

The aim of this study was to survey fuzzy logic (FL) applications in brain researches. In general, these applications are related to pattern recognition for localization in brain structures or tumor detection, image segmentation, and simulations. In recent years, neural networks and FL are gaining popularity. FL is based on the observation of people. The enormous amount of information representation by the brain suggests that FL principles can be useful, especially for complex brain functions. Causal models based on functional neuroanatomy can be then implemented in computer simulations to reflect the dynamical intersection of brain structures. FL is considered as an appropriate tool for modelling and control. FL has been applied in different ways to brain researches. This paper surveys the utilization of FL in brain researches.
