A metric for the cognitive map: found at last?
نویسندگان
چکیده
A network of brain areas collectively represent location, but the underlying nature of this "cognitive map" has remained elusive. A recent study reports that the activity patterns of some entorhinal cortical neurons form a remarkably regular array of evenly spaced peaks across the surface of the environment. These "grid cells" might be the basis of a metric used for calculating position, and their discovery could greatly advance our understanding of how navigational computations are performed.

Identification and Analysis of Factors Effecting the Implementation of Universal Banking Based on Fuzzy Cognitive Map
This study aims to determine the factors affecting the Implementation of Universal Banking. For this purpose, 50 factors were identified through the study of literature and interviews with experts and managers of the banking industry who had experienced in Universal banking implementation. These factors were classified into six categories: customer, infrastructure, process, structure, human re...
متن کاملComposite Kernel Optimization in Semi-Supervised Metric
Machine-learning solutions to classification, clustering and matching problems critically depend on the adopted metric, which in the past was selected heuristically. In the last decade, it has been demonstrated that an appropriate metric can be learnt from data, resulting in superior performance as compared with traditional metrics. This has recently stimulated a considerable interest in the to...
متن کاملCoupled coincidence point theorems for maps under a new invariant set in ordered cone metric spaces
In this paper, we prove some coupled coincidence point theorems for mappings satisfying generalized contractive conditions under a new invariant set in ordered cone metric spaces. In fact, we obtain sufficient conditions for existence of coupled coincidence points in the setting of cone metric spaces. Some examples are provided to verify the effectiveness and applicability of our results.
متن کاملOn Best Proximity Points in metric and Banach spaces
Notice that best proximity point results have been studied to find necessaryconditions such that the minimization problemminx∈A∪Bd(x,Tx)has at least one solution, where T is a cyclic mapping defined on A∪B.A point p ∈ A∪B is a best proximity point for T if and only if thatis a solution of the minimization problem (2.1). Let (A,B) be a nonemptypair in a normed...
متن کاملFixed point of generalized contractive maps on S^{JS}- metric spaces with two metrics
In this paper we prove existence of fixed point theorems for Z-contractive map, Geraghty type contractive map and interpolative Hardy-Rogers type contractive mapping in the setting of SJS- metric spaces with two metrics. Examples are constructed to high light the significance of newly obtained results.
