Computation with Spikes in a Winner-Take-All Network
The winner-take-all (WTA) computation in networks of recurrently connected neurons is an important decision element of many models of cortical processing. However, analytical studies of the WTA performance in recurrent networks have generally addressed rate-based models. Very few have addressed networks of spiking neurons, which are relevant for understanding the biological networks themselves ...
متن کاملA Normalizing aVLSI Network with Controllable Winner-Take-All Properties
We describe an aVLSI network consisting of a group of excitatory neurons and a global inhibitory neuron. The output of the inhibitory neuron is normalized with respect to the input strengths in a manner that is useful in any system where we wish the output signal to code only the strength of the inputs, and not be dependent on the number of active inputs. The circuitry in each neuron is equival...
متن کاملModelling divided visual attention with a winner-take-all network
Experimental evidence on the distribution of visual attention supports the idea of a spatial saliency map, whereby bottom-up and top-down influences on attention are integrated by a winner-take-all mechanism. We implement this map with a continuous attractor neural network, and test the ability of our model to explain experimental evidence on the distribution of spatial attention. The majority ...
متن کاملSingle-electron winner-take-all network
A winner-take-all (WTA) single-electron neuron is developed for the first time. This new single-electron circuit is proposed in order to implement a WTA neural network with lateral inhibition architecture. An expression for the neuron’s activation function is presented. Furthermore, a dot pattern recognition task is successfully performed by the implemented network considering effects such as o...
متن کاملA Spiking Independent Accumulator Model for Winner-Take-All Computation
Winner-take-all (WTA) mechanisms are an important component of many cognitive models. For example, they are often used to decide between multiple choices or to selectively direct attention. Here we compare two biologically plausible, spiking neural WTA mechanisms. We first provide a novel spiking implementation of the well-known leaky, competing accumulator (LCA) model, by mapping the dynamics ...
