Neural activity profile for short time memory task

Hippocampus, a region of brain is considered to be essential for memory and navigation. This is a feature which is functionally and structurally quite similar among the mammals. As invasive studies in human are not advised and that in laboratory animals give an equivalent result this region was the subject of much research in the past three decades. Most of the researches were focused on the structural aspects of the region. This paper proposes a pattern recognition system to study the neural activity profile for male Evans rat performing delayed non-match to sample (DNMS) task. This system, takes into account the practical constraints during acquisition of the neural signals. The best result found in this study shows 5.2%, 5.3%, 5.5% prediction error for 1 sec, 2 sec and 3 sec ahead prediction respectively.
