Hebbian Plasticity for Improving Perceptual Decisions
نویسنده
چکیده
Shibata et al. reported that humans could learn to repeatedly evoke a stimulus-associated functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) activity pattern in visual areas V1/V2 through which visual perceptual learning was achieved without stimulus presentation. Contrary to their attribution of visual improvements to neuroplasticity in adult V1/V2, our Hebbian learning interpretation of these data explains the attainment of better perceptual decisions without plastic V1/V2.

Hebbian Reweighting on Stable Representations in Perceptual Learning.
Perceptual learning is the improvement in perceptual task performance with practice or training. The observation of specificity in perceptual learning has been widely associated with plasticity in early visual cortex representations. Here, we review the evidence supporting the plastic reweighting of readout from stable sensory representations, originally proposed by Dosher & Lu (1998), as an al...
متن کاملHebbian Learning of Bayes Optimal Decisions
Uncertainty is omnipresent when we perceive or interact with our environment, and the Bayesian framework provides computational methods for dealing with it. Mathematical models for Bayesian decision making typically require datastructures that are hard to implement in neural networks. This article shows that even the simplest and experimentally best supported type of synaptic plasticity, Hebbia...
متن کاملAssociative Hebbian synaptic plasticity in primate visual cortex.
In primates, the functional connectivity of adult primary visual cortex is susceptible to be modified by sensory training during perceptual learning. It is widely held that this type of neural plasticity might involve mechanisms like long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD). NMDAR-dependent forms of LTP and LTD are particularly attractive because in rodents they can be induce...
متن کاملA Developmental Switch for Hebbian Plasticity
Hebbian forms of synaptic plasticity are required for the orderly development of sensory circuits in the brain and are powerful modulators of learning and memory in adulthood. During development, emergence of Hebbian plasticity leads to formation of functional circuits. By modeling the dynamics of neurotransmitter release during early postnatal cortical development we show that a developmentall...
متن کاملThe predictive brain: temporal coincidence and temporal order in synaptic learning mechanisms.
Some forms of synaptic plasticity depend on the temporal coincidence of presynaptic activity and postsynaptic response. This requirement is consistent with the Hebbian, or correlational, type of learning rule used in many neural network models. Recent evidence suggests that synaptic plasticity may depend in part on the production of a membrane permeant-diffusible signal so that spatial volume m...
