Model sharing in the human medial temporal lobe by Glitz, L, Juechems, K, Summerfield, C, Garrett, N

“…Using a new decision-making "heist task" in conjunction with computational modelling and fMRI we show that patterns of BOLD responses in the medial temporal lobe - a brain region key for prospective planning - become less sensitive to the presence of visual features when these are irrelevant to the task at hand. …”

Causal evidence for learning-dependent frontal lobe contributions to cognitive control by Muhle-Karbe, P, Jiang, J, Egner, T

“…Here, we combined computational modeling with noninvasive brain stimulation to show that changes in control engagement are captured by a self-adjusting reinforcement-learning mechanism that tracks changing environmental statistics to predict forthcoming processing demands and that transient perturbation of the prefrontal cortex abolishes these adjustments. …”

The use of fluid-solid cell transformation to model volcanic ash deposition within a gas turbine hot component by Connolly, JP, Forsyth, P, McGilvray, M, Gillespie, D

“…Creating robust empirical and computational models of the process of deposition of salts, dust, sand and volcanic ash has gained increased importance over the last two decades as civil aircraft flights in regions with particulate laden atmospheres have increased. …”

Modulation of oscillatory activity in the cortico-subthalamic pathway by electrical stimulation in rodents and humans by Kormann, E

“…Interestingly, in tremor patients the phase of ongoing peripheral oscillation can be exploited with electrical ‘phase interference’, whereby cortical stimulation on specific phases of the tremor dampens both the pathological neuronal activity and resulting symptoms. Computational modelling suggests that the amplitude of beta oscillations could be modulated by applying stimulation at a specific phase. …”

Optical mapping signal synthesis by Bishop, MJ

“…</p> <p>This Thesis presents a thorough investigation into the distortion effects encountered in optical mapping experiments, guided by the development of a coherent series of computational models. The models presented successfully characterise the specific mechanisms of fluorescent signal distortion due to photon scattering. …”

Stochastic models of ion channel dynamics and their role in short-term repolarisation variability in cardiac cells by Dangerfield, CE

“…This beat-to-beat variability is thought to be the manifestation of the random opening and closing dynamics of individual ion channels that lie within the membrane of cardiac cells. Computational models have become an important tool in understanding the electrophysiology of the heart. …”
