The spectacle of brown skin in Jamaica emerged the late eighteenth century to early nineteenth with “balls at Kingston ‘Brown Girls’” (Lewis 382), referred as “Brown Girls Balls.” Girls” mulatto women or mulatress, infantilized “girls,” who were off-springs Europeans and enslaved Africans. Brown considered “fair sex” by Eurocentric standards, known for their beauty elegance, sponsored British R...

We study memory lifetimes in a perceptron-based framework with binary synapses, using the mean first passage time for the perceptron's total input to fall below firing threshold to define memory lifetimes. Working with the simplest memory-related model of synaptic plasticity, we may obtain exact results for memory lifetimes or, working in the continuum limit, good analytical approximations that...

The efficacy of a biological synapse is naturally bounded, and at some resolution, latest at the level of single vesicles, it is discrete. The finite number of synaptic states dramatically reduce the storage capacity of a network when online learning is considered (i.e. the synapses are immediately modified by each pattern): the trace of old memories decays exponentially with the number of new ...
