    Abstract: In order to address a conventional problem that there is no information processing apparatus for simulating processing in the brain, an information processing apparatus is configured such that one or more pieces of feature information are transferred between somas, each soma may fire using one or more pieces of accepted feature information, a firing pattern, which is a pattern of firing of one or more somas, is acquired, and output information corresponding to the firing pattern is acquired and output. Accordingly, it is possible to realize information processing for simulating processing in the brain. Also, it is possible to realize information processing for simulating processing in the brain, such as growth processing, apoptosis processing, and learning processing of elements such as somas.

    Abstract: The technology relates to simulating a dynamic hybrid network. A method for simulating a dynamic hybrid network includes modeling a transmission supply of a mesh network of moving stations on aerial vehicles in flight at each time step in a time series, modeling capacity demand as a function of user distribution data and user behavior data, and computing an aggregate network metric for the dynamic hybrid network including throughput. A method for optimizing throughput of a dynamic hybrid network includes modeling a dynamic hybrid network, including a transmission supply of a mesh network of moving stations, modeling capacity demand as a function of user distribution data and user behavior data, and computing an aggregate network metric; then providing feedback to a controller and causing a change to a station in the network to increase throughput.
