Organization of a primitive memory: olfaction.
I present a tentative, and schematic, picture of the olfaction storage system in early mammalians: (i) how the excitation trains from the olfactory bulb excite selectively N types of cells in the piriform cortex and (ii) how these cells transfer their information to a storage area. Simple size and connectivity requirements impose that each odor is stored in a very small cluster of approximately...
متن کاملBrain imaging studies of the functional organization of human olfaction.
It is believed that sensory functions are organized in a hierarchical and parallel manner. The sense of smell differs in several aspects from other senses: odors can immediately elicit emotional evocations, they are remembered after a long time, and they are difficult to label. This raises the question of whether odorous stimuli may be processed differently from the other sensory stimuli. New d...
متن کاملA primitive memory system for the deployment of transient attention.
When transient attention is summoned by the sudden appearance of a large cue, it can be deployed to a small portion of the cue where a target appeared on previous trials (Kristjánsson, Mackeben, & Nakayama, 2001). This result runs counter to the view that transient, or exogenous, attention is summoned automatically and indiscriminately to abruptly appearing stimuli. To further characterize the ...
متن کاملA Fault Primitive Based Analysis of Dynamic Memory Faults
The new memory technologies and processes are introducing defects that cause faults that were unknown previously. One of the new observed faults in real designs are called dynamic faults. The paper gives a mathematical analysis of such a fault class based on the fault primitive concept. The dynamic fault space will be then established; within this space dynamic functional fault models can be st...
متن کاملExplanation of a Clustered Case Memory Organization
One of the key issues in Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) is the efficient retrieval of cases when the case base is huge. In this paper we propose a case memory organization in two steps: 1) the case memory is organized using an unsupervised clustering technique, and 2) explanations for each cluster are constructed using all the cases associated to each one. The role of the explanations is twofold. O...
