Grandmother Cells and Distributed Representations
It is generally accepted that a typical visual stimulus will be represented by the activity of many millions of neurons distributed across many regions of the visual cortex. However, there is still a long-running debate about the extent to which information about individual objects and events can be read out from the responses of individual neurons. Is it conceivable that neurons could respond ...
متن کاملAn extension of the localist representation theory: grandmother cells are also widely used in the brain
ON GRANDMOTHER CELLS Based on considerable neurophysiological evidence, Roy (2012) proposed the theory that localist representation is widely used in the brain, starting from the lowest levels of processing. Grandmother cells are a special case of localist representation. In this article, I present the theory that grandmother cells are also widely used in the brain. To support the proposed theo...
متن کاملcompactifications and representations of transformation semigroups
this thesis deals essentially (but not from all aspects) with the extension of the notion of semigroup compactification and the construction of a general theory of semitopological nonaffine (affine) transformation semigroup compactifications. it determines those compactification which are universal with respect to some algebric or topological properties. as an application of the theory, it is i...
15 صفحه اولDistributed vs. Localist Representations 1
One of the central claims associated with the parallel distributed processing approach popularized by D. E. Rumelhart, J. L. McClelland and the PDP Research Group is that knowledge is coded in a distributed fashion. Localist representations within this perspective are widely rejected. It is important to note, however, that connectionist networks can learn localist representations and many conne...
متن کاملRepresentations for a Complex World: Combining Distributed and Localist Representations for Learning and Planning
To have agents autonomously model a complex environment, it is desirable to use distributed representations that lend themselves to neural learning. Yet developing and executing plans acting on the environment calls for abstract, localist representations of events, objects and categories. To combine these requirements, a formalism that can express neural networks, action sequences and symbolic ...
