A Temporal Channel for Information in Sparse Sensory Coding
BACKGROUND Sparse codes are found in nearly every sensory system, but the role of spike timing in sparse sensory coding is unclear. Here, we use the olfactory system of awake locusts to test whether the timing of spikes in Kenyon cells, a population of neurons that responds sparsely to odors, carries sensory information to and influences the responses of follower neurons. RESULTS We character...
متن کاملImproved Channel Estimation for DVB-T2 Systems by Utilizing Side Information on OFDM Sparse Channel Estimation
The second generation of digital video broadcasting (DVB-T2) standard utilizes orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system to reduce and to compensate the channel effects by utilizing its estimation. Since wireless channels are inherently sparse, it is possible to utilize sparse representation (SR) methods to estimate the channel. In addition to sparsity feature of the channel, the...
متن کاملSparse coding of sensory inputs.
Several theoretical, computational, and experimental studies suggest that neurons encode sensory information using a small number of active neurons at any given point in time. This strategy, referred to as 'sparse coding', could possibly confer several advantages. First, it allows for increased storage capacity in associative memories; second, it makes the structure in natural signals explicit;...
متن کاملCoding of Sensory Information
SENSATION AND PERCEPTION provided the starting points for modern research into our mental processes. In the early nineteenth century the French philosopher Auguste Comte argued that the study of behavior should become a branch of the biological sciences and that the laws governing the mind should be derived from objective observation. Comte's new philosophy, which he called positivism, was infl...
متن کاملSparse Coding of Disparity Information
It has been shown that the classical receptive fields (RF) emerge from statistical properties of natural images by forcing cells to be maximally sparse. Here, we extend these studies by using stereoscopic movies as input, recorded by two cameras mounted on the head of a freely moving cat. With patches cut from these movies, we trained a two layer feed forward network, optimising it toward a goa...
