A Simple Model for Neural Computation with Firing Rates and Firing Correlations
A simple extension of standard neural network models is introduced which provides a model for neural computations that involve both firing rates and firing correlations. Such an extension appears to be useful since it has been shown that firing correlations play a significant computational role in many biological neural systems. Standard neural network models are only suitable for describing ne...
متن کاملNeural Networks with Low Local Firing Rates
Neural network models of associative memory with uniform inhibition are studied. It is shown that for sufficiently strong inhibition the system orders only partially even at low temperatures. A fraction of the neurons freezes in a quiescent state while the activities of the rest of the neurons fluctuate in time around an average level that is small compared to the saturation level. These models...
متن کاملNeural codes: firing rates and beyond.
Computational neuroscience has contributed significantly to our understanding of higher brain function by combining experimental neurobiology, psychophysics, modeling, and mathematical analysis. This article reviews recent advances in a key area: neural coding and information processing. It is shown that synapses are capable of supporting computations based on highly structured temporal codes. ...
متن کاملWhen do correlations increase with firing rates in recurrent networks?
A central question in neuroscience is to understand how noisy firing patterns are used to transmit information. Because neural spiking is noisy, spiking patterns are often quantified via pairwise correlations, or the probability that two cells will spike coincidentally, above and beyond their baseline firing rate. One observation frequently made in experiments, is that correlations can increase...
متن کاملSimple neural networks for the amplification and utilization of small changes in neuron firing rates.
I describe physiologically plausible "voter-coincidence" neural networks such that secondary "coincidence" neurons fire on the simultaneous receipt of sufficiently large sets of input pulses from primary sets of neurons. The networks operate such that the firing rate of the secondary, output neurons increases (or decreases) sharply when the mean firing rate of primary neurons increases (or decr...
