Vector Fields of Response Strength
New article on medium (excerpt): In some ways, even without performing internal calculations, we may still define equations for the internal parameter dynamics, and provide a neuron-specific response strength or transfer function at each point in time to select and match synaptic inputs — a move away from purely use-dependent plasticity to vector field-coordinated plasticity […]
Read MorePosition Paper on Neuron-Centric Plasticity
The new abstract of a position paper has now been published on F1000 with open peer review by S. Ramaswamy and I. Raikov (preprint at arxiv.org). It explains how we need a paradigm shift from a synapse-centric theory of brain plasticity – the theory that gave us the adage “neurons that fire together wire together”- […]
Read MoreNew Scholar on Boolean transformations
We welcome another scholar, Maira Perveen, from the TU Chemnitz neurorobotics lab for a thesis on Boolean transformations of indexed neural networks. Why is this relevant? We introduced a memory model (1, 2) that is based on biological cortical memory and uses neuron-centric principles. Now we want to add abstractions to it, such as integer-based […]
