TLDR
The mode of operation of the (firing) system that needs to always satisfy the homogeneous part of the inhomogeneous equation F(ax) − bF(x) = G( x) with the forcing function G(x).
Abstract
The brain generally miniaturizes its perceptions into what may be regarded as a model of what happens outside. We experience the world according to the capacity of our nervous system to register the stimuli we receive. In order to understand and control the environment there needs to be proportionality between the measurements represented in the miniaturized model that arise from the firings of our neurons, and the actual measurements in the real world. Thus our response to stimuli must satisfy the fundamental functional equation F(ax) = bF(x). In other words, our interpretation of a stimulus as registered by the firing of our neurons is proportional to what it would be if it were not filtered through the brain. This equation is the homogeneous part of the inhomogeneous equation F(ax) − bF(x) = G(x) with the forcing function G(x). What interests us here is the mode of operation of the (firing) system that needs to always satisfy the homogeneous part.

Increasing the level of certainty in medical diagnosis. Using AHP/ANP with compatibility index G in support of medical diagnosis

TL;DR: The results of this work show that medical certainty grows up significantly when applying this new approach for the diagnosis issue, mainly due to its better way of coping to intrinsic complexity.

Representation of visual response to neural firing

TL;DR: In this article, the authors give examples of the use of linear combinations of impulse response functions to represent visual images and derive expressions for estimating the parameters of these functions using the Fourier transform of stimuli.
