Statistical mechanics of neocortical interactions: Constraints on 40-Hz models of short-term memory.
نویسنده
چکیده
ev olution of short-term memory in the neocortex, supporting the empirical 7±2 rule of constraints on the capacity of neocortical processing. These results are given further support when other recent models of 40-Hz subcycles of low-frequency oscillations are considered.

Statistical mechanics of neocortical interactions: Path-integral evolution of short-term memory.
Previous papers in this series of statistical mechanics of neocortical interactions (SMNI) have detailed a development from the relatively microscopic scales of neurons up to the macroscopic scales as recorded by electroencephalography (EEG), requiring an intermediate mesocolumnar scale to be developed at the scale of minicolumns (≈ 10 neurons) and macrocolumns (≈ 10 neurons). Opportunity was t...
متن کاملStatistical mechanics of neocortical interactions: EEG eigenfunctions of short-term memory
ABSTRACT: This paper focuses on how bottom-up neocortical models can be developed into eigenfunction expansions of probability distributions appropriate to describe short-term memory in the context of scalp EEG. The mathematics of eigenfunctions are similar to the top-down eigenfunctions developed by Nunez, albeit they hav e different physical manifestations. The bottom-up eigenfunctions are at...
متن کاملStatistical mechanics of neocortical interactions: High-resolution path-integral calculation of short-term memory.
We present high-resolution path-integral calculations of a previously developed model of short-term memory in neocortex. These calculations, made possible with supercomputer resources, supplant similar calculations made in L. Ingber, Phys. Rev. E 49, 4652 (1994), and support coarser estimates made in L. Ingber, Phys. Rev. A 29, 3346 (1984). We also present a current experimental context for the...
متن کاملStatistical Mechanics of Neocortical Interactions Testing Theories with Multiple Imaging Data
Lester Ingber Abstract To test theories of neocortical processing of macroscopic phenomena, e.g., attention and consciousness, based on relatively microscopic neocortical interactions, e.g., synaptic and neuronal interactions, both theoretical and experimental designs must account for the nonlinear nonequilibrium multivariate stochastic nature of these phenomena. Statistical mechanics of neocor...

A series of papers has developed a statistical mechanics of neocortical interactions (SMNI), deriving aggregate behavior of experimentally observed columns of neurons from statistical electrical-chemical properties of synaptic interactions. While not useful to yield insights at the single neuron level, SMNI has demonstrated its capability in describing large-scale properties of short-term memor...
