From automata theory to brain theory

TL;DR: It is stressed that the best neural modelling will bear little resemblance to a straight application of such techniques as finite automata, network complexity theory, and Turing machines.

Memory Capacity of Balanced Networks

TL;DR: The problem of memory capacity in balanced networks of spiking neurons, where Associative memories are represented by either synfire chains or Hebbian cell assemblies, is studied and an upper limit on memory capacity is derived using combinatorial arguments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synaptic Scaling Enables Dynamically Distinct Short- and Long-Term Memory Formation

TL;DR: It is shown that synaptic scaling – a slow process usually associated with the maintenance of activity homeostasis – combined with synaptic plasticity may simultaneously achieve both time scale integration and synaptic differentiation, thereby providing a natural separation of short- from long-term storage.
Journal ArticleDOI

A neuron model with learning capability and its relation to mechanisms of association.

TL;DR: It is shown that, under certain conditions, a collection of model cells is able to work as an associative memory and a pattern of output signals that once occurred through the combined action of the excitatory, the inhibitory, and the unspecified signals may later be recalled by applying just the two former signal patterns.

Representational similarity encoding for fMRI: Pattern-based synthesis to predict brain activity using stimulus-model-similarities.

TL;DR: This work introduces a new approach, representational similarity-encoding, that builds on the strengths of RSA and robustly enables stimulus-model-based neural encoding without model fitting, and importantly enables encoding analyses to be incorporated within the wider Representational Similarity Analysis framework.

Theory of Optical Information Storage in Solids

TL;DR: The theory of three-dimensional optical storage lends support to Beurle’s proposed mechanism of information storage in the brain, and makes three- dimensional storage very suitable for associative memories.

Holographic Model of Temporal Recall

TL;DR: It is shown that there is at least one other mathematical model, which is considered to be a closer analogue of holography, because it operates with triple products of the temporal function to be recognized or recalled.

Improved holographic model of temporal recall.

TL;DR: The modified static system described here is an alternative to Longuet-Higgins' model and takes account of the weaknesses of the nervous system as well as of its powers to imitate human memory with models.

The Classification of Modifiable Synapses and Their Use In Models For Conditioning

TL;DR: It is argued that if the conditioning and memory mechanisms of the nervous system store information by means of modifiable synapses, some of these must be of class B or C, and if the models are to be given the property of extinction, classical conditioning requires modifiablesynapses of classes A and B or of class C.
