Tensor network theory of the metaorganization of functional geometries in the central nervous system

Geometrical approach to neural net control of movements and posture.

Coordination: a vector-matrix description of transformations of overcomplete CNS coordinates and a tensorial solution using the Moore-Penrose generalized inverse.

METRIC TENSOR AS DEGREE OF COHERENCE IN THE DYNAMICAL ORGANIZATION OF THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM

TLDR
The degree of coherence in the oscillatory activities of neuron can be interpreted as embodying a metric tensor of non-Euclidean space that produce topological order associated to CNS development.

Tensorial aspects of the multidimensional massively parallel sensorimotor function of neuronal networks.

Tensor geometry: a language of brains & neurocomputers. Generalized coordinates in neuroscience & robotics

TLDR
Utilizations of the tensor approach center on natural and artificial sensorimotor operations, promoting a co-evolution of coordinated (and intelligent) robots with Nature’s systems such as adaptive cerebellar compensatory reflexes.

Moving in three-dimensional space: frames of reference, vectors, and coordinate systems.

TLDR
The question of spatial representation is a theme common to a variety of movements in three-dimensional space, and the neural systems involved in the production of each must deal with aspects that are particular to that task.

Cognitive neurobiology: a computational hypothesis for laminar cortex

TLDR
The functional capacities of a novel scheme for cognitive representation and computation are outlined, and the possible implementation of this scheme in the massively parallel organization of the empirical brain is explored.

Tensor Network Theory of the Central Nervous System and Sensorimotor Modeling

TLDR
Brain theory is quickly developing into a central focus among disciplines as varied as Neuroscience, Machine Intelligence and Robotics, Computer Science and Mathematics, Health Care and Rehabilitation, and Philosophy and Humanities.

Subjective referral of the timing for a conscious sensory experience: a functional role for the somatosensory specific projection system in man.

TLDR
A modified hypothesis is proposed that for a peripheral sensory input, the primary evoked response of sensory cortex to the specific projection (lemniscal) input is associated with a process that can serve as a 'time-marker'; and after delayed neuronal adequacy is achieved, there is a subjective referral of the sensory experience backwards in time so as to coincide with this initial ' time-marking'.
