Emergence of Rules in Cell Assemblies of fLIF Neurons
نویسندگان
چکیده
Inspired by biological cognition, CABOT project explores the ways symbolic processing can emerge in a system of neural cell assemblies (CAs). Here we show how a stochastic meta– control process can regulate learning of associations between the CAs, the neural basis of symbols. An experiment illustrates the learning between CAs representing conditions actions pairs, which leads to CA–based representations of ‘if–then’ rules.

The Emergence of Rules in Cell–Assemblies of FLIF Neurons
There are many examples of intelligent and learning systems that are based either on the connectionist or the symbolic approach. Although the latter can be successfully combined with statistical learning to create a hybrid system, it is not so clear how symbolic processing can emerge from a connectionst system. Human mind is a living proof that such a transition must be possible. Inspired by bi...
متن کاملParsing with fLIF Neurons
This paper presents a natural language parsing system based solely on fatiguing Leaky Integrate and Fire neurons, a relatively faithful model of biological neurons. The parser implements cell assemblies, sequences, finite state automaton and a stack. The stack enables the system to parse context free grammars. The system uses variable binding to apply the rules, and implement the stack. A novel...
متن کاملMulti-Associative Memory in fLIF Cell Assemblies
The fundamental mammalian behaviours of perception, recognition, recollection, and all other psychological phenomena are intrinsically related to the basic cognitive tasks of memorisation and association. Based on Hebb’s Cell Assembly (CA) theory, it is believed that concepts are encoded as neuronal CAs in mammalian cortical areas. This paper describes a series of simulations that demonstrate v...
متن کاملIdentification of the protease and the turnover signal responsible for cell cycle-dependent degradation of the Caulobacter FliF motor protein.
Flagellar ejection is tightly coupled to the cell cycle in Caulobacter crescentus. The MS ring protein FliF, which anchors the flagellar structure in the inner membrane, is degraded coincident with flagellar release. Previous work showed that removal of 26 amino acids from the C terminus of FliF prevents degradation of the protein and interferes with flagellar assembly. To understand FliF degra...
متن کاملPredicting synchronized neural assemblies from experimentally estimated phase-resetting curves
Neural-network dynamics frequently organize in assemblies of synchronized neurons that are thought to encode and store sensory information. We have investigated the mechanisms leading to the emergence of these neural assemblies with models of coupled oscillators. In particular, we used experimentally estimated phase-resetting curves (PRC) of real neurons (mitral cells) to realistically describe...
