Characterizing Face Encoding Mechanism by Selective Object Pattern in Brains using Synthetic Intelligence and Its Simultaneous Replication of Visual System That Encode Faces Ankush Rai* Department of Applied Science, CRIAD Laboratories, Smiriti Nagar, Bhilai 490020, India
Abstract Various aspects of facial recognition information for identifying individuals are still remained unknown. Our goal in the research papers is to identify factors from parahippocampal place area (PPA)with means of computational method that trigger the recognition process and what constitutes facial encoding by measuring the selectively responses in PPA to images of objects. We use synthetic intelligent computer model to help categories the feature selectivity in brain patterns and simultaneously training it as a building block for visual system which mimics and categorized shape selective responses in PPA.
Keywords: Face perception; FMRI; Neural representation; Face recognition; Parahippocampal activity; Computational neuroscience

Computational Modeling Study of Synfire Chains from Multiple Plasticity Mechanisms for Model Development at Neural Level: Introducing an Evolving Digital Micro-Brain Ankush Rai* Department of Applied Science, CRIAD Laboratories, Smiriti Nagar, Bhilai 490020, India
Abstract In a biological specimen with evolved brain the interconnected neural networks by plasticity mechanisms bring out intelligence, consciousness, and emotions by a collective firing of a sets of neurons operating at different time delays and oscillations. Therefore, the nature of our study is to computationally test a mathematical model to mimic neurological events in general and provides a theoretical and experimental framework that links neural function to model-based learning and theory of cognitive control; which in turn will bridge the junction of biology and computer science. This will allow us to sculpt such neural networks into effective data processor.
Keywords: synfire chain, recurrent neural network, self-organization network, spiketiming-dependent plasticity

Arterial Stiffness and Parameters for Its Assessment Pankti Brar1*, Sharda Vashisth2 1
ECE Department, Dronacharya College of Engineering, Gurgaon, India 2 EECE Department, ITM University, Gurgaon, India
Abstract In this paper, we have presented a review of the changes that occur in the vasculature with age. These all lead to increased central arterial stiffness. Arterial stiffness lead to variation in the blood flow physics, which inturn causes the reflected pressure wave to reach the aortic root in the systole. This leads to increase in the systolic blood pressure and ultimately the pulse pressure increases. The article further reviews that vascular damage can be assessed by pulse wave velocity (PWV) and the augmentation index (AI). Both these parameters can be easily determined noninvasively and are reproducible.
Keywords: Arterial stiffness, Augmentation index, Pulse wave velocity, Forward arterial wave, Reflected arterial wave
