Abstract:
In order to improve the modeling performance of Volterra sequence for nonlinear neural activity, in this paper, a new optimization algorithm is proposed to identify Volterra sequence parameters. Algorithm combines the advantages of particle swarm optimization (PSO) and genetic algorithm (GA) improve the performance of the identification of nonlinear model parameters from rapidity and accuracy. In the modeling experiments of neural signal data generated by the neural computing model and clinical neural data set in this paper, the proposed algorithm shows its excellent potential in nonlinear neural activity modeling. Compared with PSO and GA, the algorithm can achieve less identification error, and better balance the convergence speed and identification error. Further, we explore the influence of algorithm parameters on identification efficiency, which provides possible guiding significance for parameter setting in practical application of the algorithm.

Propagation of Action Potentials
Neurons (nerve cells) have a resting membrane potential, with a slightly negative charge inside compared to outside. This is maintained by ion channels, such as sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+) channels, which control the flow of ions. When a stimulus, like a touch or a signal from another neuron, triggers the neuron, sodium channels open, allowing sodium ions to...
