title = "Combining engineering models with biophysical models to analyze a biological neural network: The electrosensory system of sharks, skates and rays",
abstract = "The elasmobranch electrosensory system forms a neural representation of weak electrical field sources in the environment. Electrical noise correlated to the animal's own activity is rejected at an early stage of processing in the brain. The noise rejecting mechanism appears to be a neural analog of an adaptive array filter in the dorsal octavolateral nucleus of the medulla. The authors have applied engineering analysis to build a framework for understanding how the shark's brain may transform electrosensory data into a representation of its environment. They are fleshing out the skeleton by replacing analytical terms in the engineering model with neural network models based on biological data.",
