Functional connectivity analysis on hierarchical reservoir computing model

抄録

The human brain performs intelligent behavior with its hierarchical neural structure. In the past years, the relationship among different brain areas and their roles have been widely studied. In particular, functional connectivity has been used to discuss mechanisms that perform information processing in the brain. Alternatively, computational models have also been used to reveal the mechanisms. Reservoir computing is one of the models that simulate the dynamical process of the brain. The purpose of this paper is to apply the functional connectivity analysis to the reservoir computing model. This approach will contribute to comparing the computational model with the neurophysiological study.
