Abstract

We consider Non Markovian Stochastic processes describing the time evolution of a countable system of neurons in both, discrete and continuous time. The evolution of the process can be informally described as follows. For each neuron the rate (in continuous time) or theprobability (in discrete time) of spiking depends on the time evolution of the entire system after its last spiking time. When a neuron spikes, its membrane potential is immediately reset to a resting value. Simultaneously, the membrane potential of the neurons which are influenced by it receive an additional value. This reset of potential in the spiking neuron acts as a renewal event making the stochastic chains with memory of variable length good candidates to model a single neuron. This project intent to continue the study of theses sort of classes of stochastic processes by means of rigorous mathematical description of the brain activity. To this end, we propose a set of new problems to be studied in the classes presented here. (AU)
