Identification and estimation algorithm for stochastic neural system. II

The algorithm for identifying the stochastic neural system and estimating the system process which reflects the dynamics of the neural network are presented in this papar. The analogous algorithm has been proposed in our preceding paper (Nakao et al., 1984), which was based on the randomly missed observations of a system process only. Since the previous algorithm mentioned above was subject to an unfavorable effect of consecutively missed observations, to reduce such an effect the algorithm proposed here is designed additionally to observe an intensity process in a neural spike train as the information for the estimation.The algorithm is constructed with the extended Kalman filters because it is naturally expected that a nonlinear and time variant structure is necessary for the filters to realize the observation of an intensity process by means of mapping from a system process to an intensity process. The performance of the algorithm is examined by applying it to some artificial neural systems and also to cat's visual nervous systems. The results in these applications are thought to prove the effectiveness of the algorithm proposed here and its superiority to the algorithm proposed previously.
