This paper presents a deterministic and adaptive spike model derived from radial basis functions
and a leaky integrate-and-fire sampler developed for training spiking neural networks without direct
weight manipulation. Several algorithms have been proposed for training spiking neural networks
through biologically-plausible learning mechanisms, such as spike-timing-dependent synaptic plasticity
and Hebbian plasticity. These algorithms typically rely on the ability to update the synaptic strengths,
or weights, directly, through a weight update rule in which the weight increment can be decided
and implemented based on the training equations. However, in several potential applications of
adaptive spiking neural networks, including neuroprosthetic devices and CMOS/memristor nanoscale
neuromorphic chips, the weights cannot be manipulated directly and, instead, tend to change over time
by virtue of the pre- and postsynaptic neural activity. This paper presents an indirect learning method
that induces changes in the synaptic weights by modulating spike-timing-dependent plasticity by means
of controlled input spike trains. In place of the weights, the algorithm manipulates the input spike trains
used to stimulate the input neurons by determining a sequence of spike timings that minimize a desired
objective function and, indirectly, induce the desired synaptic plasticity in the network.

This paper is focused on investigating force regulation strategies employed by human central nervous system (CNS). The mechanism responsible for force control is extremely important in people's lives, but not yet well understood. We formulate the general model of force regulation and identify several possible control strategies. An experimental approach is used to determine which of the force control strategies could actually be used by the CNS. Obtained results suggest that the force regulation process involves not only the pure force controller, but also a coupled motion controller, relying on the internal model of the environment.

This paper proposes an algorithm for trajectory planning based on the motion of Brownian particles. One of the most popular approaches in path planning is to use the artificial potential fields method which, due to its easiness in implementation, might attract the robot towards a local minimum configuration, thus preventing it from reaching the desired final destination. Although there are different approaches to deal with this drawback, their modeling lacks the simplicity of the potential fields, adding thus an extra complexity to the problem. The solution proposed here combines the strengths of both approaches: it is easy to analyze and to implement, just like in the potentials method, while it preserves the robustness against local minima of more complex particle swarm models. An approximate analysis for the deterministic version of the selected model was performed and it was observed, via simulations, that the results obtained after this simplification were consistent with the behavior of the stochastic system.

The design-informatics approach has been proposed for next-generation innovative design methodology. The multi-objective problem should be treated in a real-world engineering problem because of the various design requirements. When a multi-objective optimization is implemented, the obtained result is not a sole solution but a set of optimum solutions due to tradeoff relations among design requirements. Therefore, decision-making process is necessary as a post-process for optimization result. In the present study, the design-informatics approach, which is considered as a sequential process between an optimization and its post-process operations, is suggested and is applied to the large-scale and real-world design problem. Consequently, a compromised solution can be efficiently decided from the non-dominated solutions obtained by multidisciplinary design optimization. This approach would be a new efficient procedure for design manner, and also it would be the methodology that innovative design knowledge can be acquired.
