Sparse 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 کاملRice Classification and Quality Detection Based on Sparse Coding Technique
Classification of various rice types and determination of its quality is a major issue in the scientific and commercial fields associated with modern agriculture. In recent years, various image processing techniques are used to identify different types of agricultural products. There are also various color and texture-based features in order to achieve the desired results in this area. In this ...
متن کاملCellular Adaptation Facilitates Sparse and Reliable Coding in Sensory Pathways
Most neurons in peripheral sensory pathways initially respond vigorously when a preferred stimulus is presented, but adapt as stimulation continues. It is unclear how this phenomenon affects stimulus coding in the later stages of sensory processing. Here, we show that a temporally sparse and reliable stimulus representation develops naturally in sequential stages of a sensory network with adapt...
متن کاملHierarchical sparse coding in the sensory system of Caenorhabditis elegans.
Animals with compact sensory systems face an encoding problem where a small number of sensory neurons are required to encode information about its surrounding complex environment. Using Caenorhabditis elegans worms as a model, we ask how chemical stimuli are encoded by a small and highly connected sensory system. We first generated a comprehensive library of transgenic worms where each animal e...
متن کاملA 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...
