Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.
  • You cannot copy text or images from the file.
  • You cannot edit the file.

Printing the thesis

  • You can print the thesis for your personal study or research use.
  • Aalto University students and staff members may print black-and-white prints on the PrintingPoint devices when using the computer with personal Aalto username and password. Color printing is possible using the printer u90203-psc3, which is located near the customer service. Color printing is subject to a charge to Aalto University students and staff members.
  • Other customers can use the printer u90203-psc3. All printing is subject to a charge to non-University members.

Abstract (eng): There is experimental and theoretical evidence that functional units on various scales of the nervous system express properties of self-sustained oscillators.
For example, this quality is present in several models for a neuron's membrane potential dynamics.
Perturbation theory then leads to a formulation of the oscillator's dynamic interactions solely based on phase evolutions.
In such models mutual synchronisation can occur.

Verification that this effect takes place in the nervous system and is relevant for information integration requires calculating quantities such as a matrix of bivariate phase-locking statistics from multi-unit electrophysiological measurements.
For this, data with high temporal resolution is favourable, rendering invasive recordings of local field potentials or non-invasive techniques like EEG or MEG suitable.

This thesis provides interpretation for the spectral analysis of the synchronisation matrix with respect to phase reduced oscillator dynamics underlying the data.
The relation of eigenvectors and order parameters as well as eigenvalues and population size are highlighted and the clustering into phase locked subpopulations is described.
A modification reducing the difficulties in establishing the entrainment relation among oscillators is discussed.

Furthermore, the problem is addressed that in many experimental situations the sensor has no direct access to the oscillator but instead measures a superposition of several units.
In such cases spurious synchronisation not related to actual neuronal interaction will appear.
It is shown how source extraction methods and other approaches can partly circumvent this problem.
