From the Retina to the Neocortex

The pioneering papers in this collection demonstrate that a combination of computational analysis and biological constraints can lead to interesting neural algorithms.

This work focuses on the better known visual system to discuss optimal sensory coding, although coding in other sensory systems are expected to address similar concerns.

This hypothesis and theory article justifies the validity and properties of a novel and comprehensive account of cognitive control and relates experimental findings to the frontoparietal network under the framework of information theory.

Observer-participant models of neural processing

A model is proposed in which the neuron serves as an information channel and decisions are made regarding the validity of a question passively posed by the neuron, based on a sigmoidal transfer characteristic or a maximum likelihood decision rule.

Reinforcement-Driven Dimensionality Reduction - A Model for Information Processing in the Basal Ganglia

It is proposed that by using a reinforcement-driven dimensionality reduction process the basal ganglia achieve efficient extraction of cortical salient information that may then be used by the frontal cortex for execution and planning of forthcoming actions.

Simplified neuron model as a principal component analyzer

A simple linear neuron model with constrained Hebbian-type synaptic modification is analyzed and a new class of unconstrained learning rules is derived. It is shown that the model neuron tends to

Cerebral Cortex as Model Builder

The cerebral cortex is supposed to be responsible for humanity’s dominance of the natural world, and in particular for the intellectual pre-eminence that underlies this position.

It is shown that orientation-selective cells, similar to the "simple" cortical cells of Hubel and Wiesel, emerge in a "modular self-adaptive network" containing several layers of cells with parallel feedforward connections whose strengths develop according to a Hebb-type correlation-rewarding rule.

Trigger Features, Adaptation and Economy of Impulses

About ten years ago I became fascinated by the notion that a very important part of sensory information processing consisted of recoding messages into a less redundant form at sensory relays and

Self-organization in a perceptual network

It is shown that even a single developing cell of a layered network exhibits a remarkable set of optimization properties that are closely related to issues in statistics, theoretical physics, adaptive signal processing, the formation of knowledge representation in artificial intelligence, and information theory.

Towards an Organizing Principle for a Layered Perceptual Network

An information-theoretic optimization principle is proposed for the development of each processing stage of a multilayered perceptual network that maximizes the information that the output signal values convey about the input signals values, subject to certain constraints and in the presence of processing noise.

Plasticity in the organization of adult cerebral cortical maps: a computer simulation based on neuronal group selection

A computer model based on the process of neuronal group selection has been constructed that accounts for reported results on map plasticity in somatosensory cortex and provides several insights into the mechanisms of such changes, as well as a series of predictions about cortical behavior for further experimental test.

It is shown how a climbing fibre input to the correct cell can cause that cell to perform a mountain-climbing operation in an underlying probability space, that will lead it to respond to a class of events for which it is appropriate to code.

This paper is the first of three that address the origin and organization of feature-analyzing cells in simple systems governed by biologically plausible development rules, and introduces the theory of "modular self-adaptive networks," of which this system is an example, and explicitly demonstrates the emergence of a layer of spatial-opponent cells.
