Winnerless Competition Principle in Individual Neurons and Cognitive Networks
نویسنده
چکیده
6 Winnerless competition is a theoretical model used to study cognitive and 7 attention-based processes using the sequential switching between 8 metastable states of a neurodynamical system. This competition is observed 9 in both physical neural networks and in higher-ordered cognition. I 10 demonstrate this principle in a network of three interconnected Fitzhugh11 Nagumo neurons and in the working memory model, a more abstract 12 cognitive processes using competitive Lotka-Volterra dynamics. 13 14

Dynamical encoding by networks of competing neuron groups: winnerless competition.
Following studies of olfactory processing in insects and fish, we investigate neural networks whose dynamics in phase space is represented by orbits near the heteroclinic connections between saddle regions (fixed points or limit cycles). These networks encode input information as trajectories along the heteroclinic connections. If there are N neurons in the network, the capacity is approximatel...
متن کاملStimulus-Dependent Polyrhythms of Central Pattern Generator Hardware
We have built universal central pattern generator (CPG) hardware by interconnecting Hodgkin-Huxley neurons with reciprocally inhibitory synapses. We investigate the dynamics of neuron oscillations as a function of the time delay between current steps applied to individual neurons. We demonstrate stimulus dependent switching between spiking polyrhythms and map the phase portraits of the neuron o...
متن کاملDynamical model of sequential spatial memory: winnerless competition of patterns
We introduce a new biologically-motivated model of sequential spatial memory which is based on the principle of winnerless competition (WLC). We implement this mechanism in a two-layer neural network structure and present the learning dynamics which leads to the formation of a WLC network. After learning, the system is capable of associative retrieval of pre-recorded sequences of spatial patterns.

We introduce a biologically motivated dynamical principle of sequential memory which is based on winnerless competition (WLC) of event images.

متن کاملHeteroclinic Contours in Neural Ensembles and the Winnerless Competition Principle
The ability of nonlinear dynamical systems to process incoming information is a key problem of many fundamental and applied sciences. Information processing by computation with attractors (steady states, limit cycles and strange attractors) has been a subject of many publications. In this paper we discuss a new direction in information dynamics based on neurophysiological experiments that can b...
