Distorting the metric fabric of the cognitive map

نویسنده

چکیده

Grid cells are neurons whose regularly spaced firing fields form apparently symmetric arrays, or grids, that are thought to collectively provide an environment-independent metric framework for the brain's cognitive map of space. However, two recent studies show that grids are naturally distorted, revealing greater local environment-specific effects than previously recognized.

Fixed 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.

A Simulation Method of Cognitive Maps

Cognitive maps are widely used for representing decision makers' mental maps and their strategies. However, the cognitive map analysis is usually constrained into the static analyis and has difficulty in exploring dynamic nature of decision makers' mental map. In this paper, a simulation method of cognitve map in the discipline of system dynamics is developed and discussed. In this paper, the c...

Coupled 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.

Z-Cognitive Map: An Integrated Cognitive Maps and Z-Numbers Approach under Cognitive Information

Usually, in real-world engineering problems, there are different types of uncertainties about the studied variables, which can be due to the specific variables under investigation or interaction between them. Fuzzy cognitive maps, which addresses the cause-effect relation between variables, is one of the most common models for better understanding of the problems, especially when the quantitati...
