This paper discusses an ad hoc query tool for relational databases. Most Web servers hosting biological data limit users to a defined set of search options and output formats that are short of the whole range of options available to users with direct database access. However, to make full use of the wealth of data in the database resource, it is desirable to have an intermediate solution that provides a broad range of flexible query and output options through a Web portal.

Article accompanying a poster presentation for the 2008 Computational Neuroscience Meeting. This article discusses the theoretical derivation of EMOTION-I model for emotional feel of sensation.

Article accompanying a poster for the 2010 Computational Neuroscience Annual Meeting. This article discusses computational criteria for establishing reflex from plasticity to hardwiring.

In this article, a theoretical model of social empathic emotion is derived based on the principles of survival by extending the maximization of self-gains to include others as an extended-self. This extended-self model of optimization for survival provides the computational mechanisms in the optimization process to maximize self-gains without minimizing the gains (or maximizing losses) for the other individuals. Thus, it can resolve conflicts in a competitive environment, and change the social dynamics into a cooperative interaction instead.
