   Error correction and fast detectors implemented by ultra-fast neuronal plasticity

   Roni Vardi, Hagar Marmari, Ido Kanter · 2014 · Phys. Rev. E 89, 042712 (2014) · Pas encore résumé

   Résumé scientifique

   We experimentally show that the neuron functions as a precise time-integrator, where the accumulated changes in neuronal response latencies, under complex and random stimulation patterns, are solely a function of a global quantity, the average time-lag between stimulations. In contrast, momentary leaps in the neuronal response latency follow trends of consecutive stimulations, indicating ultra-fast neuronal plasticity. On a circuit level, this ultra-fast neuronal plasticity phenomenon implements error-correction mechanisms and fast detectors for misplaced stimulations. Additionally, at moderate/high stimulation rates this phenomenon destabilizes/stabilizes a periodic neuronal activity disrup…

   Sequence learning, prediction, and replay in networks of spiking neurons

   Younes Bouhadjar, Dirk J. Wouters, Markus Diesmann et al. · 2021 · Neurones et cognition · Résumé IA disponible

   Résumé scientifique

   Sequence learning, prediction and replay have been proposed to constitute the universal computations performed by the neocortex. The Hierarchical Temporal Memory (HTM) algorithm realizes these forms of computation. It learns sequences in an unsupervised and continuous manner using local learning rules, permits a context specific prediction of future sequence elements, and generates mismatch signals in case the predictions are not met. While the HTM algorithm accounts for a number of biological features such as topographic receptive fields, nonlinear dendritic processing, and sparse connectivity, it is based on abstract discrete-time neuron and synapse dynamics, as well as on plasticity mecha…

   A Foundational Theory for Decentralized Sensory Learning

   Linus Mårtensson, Jonas M. D. Enander, Udaya B. Rongala et al. · 2025 · Neurones et cognition · Résumé IA disponible

   Résumé scientifique

   In both neuroscience and artificial intelligence, popular functional frameworks and neural network formulations operate by making use of extrinsic error measurements and global learning algorithms. Through a set of conjectures based on evolutionary insights on the origin of cellular adaptive mechanisms, we reinterpret the core meaning of sensory signals to allow the brain to be interpreted as a negative feedback control system, and show how this could lead to local learning algorithms without the need for global error correction metrics. Thereby, a sufficiently good minima in sensory activity can be the complete reward signal of the network, as well as being both necessary and sufficient for…

   How to build a cognitive map: insights from models of the hippocampal formation

   James C. R. Whittington, David McCaffary, Jacob J. W. Bakermans et al. · 2022 · Neurones et cognition · Résumé IA disponible

   Résumé scientifique

   Learning and interpreting the structure of the environment is an innate feature of biological systems, and is integral to guiding flexible behaviours for evolutionary viability. The concept of a cognitive map has emerged as one of the leading metaphors for these capacities, and unravelling the learning and neural representation of such a map has become a central focus of neuroscience. While experimentalists are providing a detailed picture of the neural substrate of cognitive maps in hippocampus and beyond, theorists have been busy building models to bridge the divide between neurons, computation, and behaviour. These models can account for a variety of known representations and neural pheno…

   Can Single Neurons Solve MNIST? The Computational Power of Biological Dendritic Trees

   Ilenna Simone Jones, Konrad Paul Kording · 2020 · Neurones et cognition · Pas encore résumé

   Résumé scientifique

   Physiological experiments have highlighted how the dendrites of biological neurons can nonlinearly process distributed synaptic inputs. This is in stark contrast to units in artificial neural networks that are generally linear apart from an output nonlinearity. If dendritic trees can be nonlinear, biological neurons may have far more computational power than their artificial counterparts. Here we use a simple model where the dendrite is implemented as a sequence of thresholded linear units. We find that such dendrites can readily solve machine learning problems, such as MNIST or CIFAR-10, and that they benefit from having the same input onto several branches of the dendritic tree. This dendr…

   A Neuro-Mimetic Realization of the Common Model of Cognition via Hebbian Learning and Free Energy Minimization

   Alexander Ororbia, Mary Alexandria Kelly · 2023 · Neurones et cognition · Résumé IA disponible

   Résumé scientifique

   Over the last few years, large neural generative models, capable of synthesizing intricate sequences of words or producing complex image patterns, have recently emerged as a popular representation of what has come to be known as "generative artificial intelligence" (generative AI). Beyond opening the door to new opportunities as well as challenges for the domain of statistical machine learning, the rising popularity of generative AI brings with it interesting questions for Cognitive Science, which seeks to discover the nature of the processes that underpin minds and brains as well as to understand how such functionality might be acquired and instantiated in biological (or artificial) substra…

   Latent computing by biological neural networks: A dynamical systems framework

   Fatih Dinc, Marta Blanco-Pozo, David Klindt et al. · 2025 · Neurones et cognition · Résumé IA disponible

   Résumé scientifique

   Although individual neurons and neural populations exhibit the phenomenon of representational drift, perceptual and behavioral outputs of many neural circuits can remain stable across time scales over which representational drift is substantial. These observations motivate a dynamical systems framework for neural network activity that focuses on the concept of \emph{latent processing units,} core elements for robust coding and computation embedded in collective neural dynamics. Our theoretical treatment of these latent processing units yields five key attributes of computing through neural network dynamics. First, neural computations that are low-dimensional can nevertheless generate high-di…

   Neural tuning and representational geometry

   Nikolaus Kriegeskorte, Xue-Xin Wei · 2021 · Neurones et cognition · Pas encore résumé

   Résumé scientifique

   A central goal of neuroscience is to understand the representations formed by brain activity patterns and their connection to behavior. The classical approach is to investigate how individual neurons encode the stimuli and how their tuning determines the fidelity of the neural representation. Tuning analyses often use the Fisher information to characterize the sensitivity of neural responses to small changes of the stimulus. In recent decades, measurements of large populations of neurons have motivated a complementary approach, which focuses on the information available to linear decoders. The decodable information is captured by the geometry of the representational patterns in the multivari…
