Neural and Mental Hierarchies
The history of the sciences of the human brain and mind has been characterized from the beginning by two parallel traditions. The prevailing theory that still influences the way current neuroimaging techniques interpret brain function, can be traced back to classical localizational theories, which in turn go back to early phrenological theories. The other approach has its origins in the hierarc...
متن کاملReservoir Computing and Self-Organized Neural Hierarchies
There is a growing understanding that machine learning architectures have to be much bigger and more complex to approach any intelligent behavior. There is also a growing understanding that purely supervised learning is inadequate to train such systems. A recent paradigm of artificial recurrent neural network (RNN) training under the umbrella-name Reservoir Computing (RC) demonstrated that trai...
متن کاملNeural Models for Part-Whole Hierarchies
We present a connectionist method for representing images that explicitly addresses their hierarchical nature. It blends data from neuroscience about whole-object viewpoint sensitive cells in inferotemporal cortex and attentional basiseld modulation in V4 with ideas about hierarchical descriptions based on microfeatures. The resulting model makes critical use of bottom-up and top-down pathways ...
متن کاملPhysical, neural, and mental timing.
The conclusions drawn by Benjamin Libet from his work with colleagues on the timing of somatosensorial conscious experiences has met with a lot of praise and criticism. In this issue we find three examples of the latter. Here I attempt to place the divide between the two opponent camps in a broader perspective by analyzing the question of the relation between physical timing, neural timing, and...
متن کاملNeural correlates of decision processes: neural and mental chronometry.
Recent studies aim to explain the duration and variability of behavioral reaction time in terms of neural processes. The time taken to make choices is occupied by at least two processes. Neurons in sensorimotor structures accumulate evidence that leads to alternative categorizations, while other neurons within these structures prepare and initiate overt responses. These distinct stages of stimu...
