Cortical computations via transient attractors
The ability of sensory networks to transiently store information on the scale of seconds can confer many advantages in processing time-varying stimuli. How a network could store information on such intermediate time scales, between typical neurophysiological time scales and those of long-term memory, is typically attributed to persistent neural activity. An alternative mechanism which might all...
متن کاملStochastic Computations in Cortical Microcircuit Models
Experimental data from neuroscience suggest that a substantial amount of knowledge is stored in the brain in the form of probability distributions over network states and trajectories of network states. We provide a theoretical foundation for this hypothesis by showing that even very detailed models for cortical microcircuits, with data-based diverse nonlinear neurons and synapses, have a stati...
متن کاملLocalizing Cortical Computations during Visual Selection
Local field potentials (LFPs) and spikes are two signals that can be recorded from the brain using extracellular microelectrodes. A study by Monosov et al. in this issue of Neuron using timing relations between these signals suggests that selection of a target from an array of distractors is a computational operation performed specifically and locally in the frontal eye field (FEF).
متن کاملHigh-Degree Neurons Feed Cortical Computations
Recent work has shown that functional connectivity among cortical neurons is highly varied, with a small percentage of neurons having many more connections than others. Also, recent theoretical developments now make it possible to quantify how neurons modify information from the connections they receive. Therefore, it is now possible to investigate how information modification, or computation, ...
متن کاملGeneration of -Scroll Attractors via Sine Function
A new approach for generating -scroll attractors is introduced. It is demonstrated that -scroll attractors can be generated using a simple sine or cosine function. A guideline is given so that a different number of scrolls can be designed easily by modifying two variables in the function. An electronic circuit is also designed for the implementation and the observation of a 9-scroll attractor i...
