Local active information storage as a tool to understand distributed neural information processing
Every act of information processing can in principle be decomposed into the component operations of information storage, transfer, and modification. Yet, while this is easily done for today's digital computers, the application of these concepts to neural information processing was hampered by the lack of proper mathematical definitions of these operations on information. Recently, definitions w...
متن کاملLocal measures of information storage in complex distributed computation
Information storage is a key component of intrinsic distributed computation. Despite the existence of appropriate measures for it (e.g. excess entropy), its role in interacting with information transfer and modification to give rise to distributed computation is not yet well-established. We explore how to quantify information storage on a local scale in space and time, so as to understand its r...
متن کاملLocal information as a resource in distributed quantum systems.
A new paradigm for distributed quantum systems where information is a valuable resource is developed. After finding a unique measure for information, we construct a scheme for its manipulation in analogy with entanglement theory. In this scheme, instead of maximally entangled states, two parties distill local states. We show that, surprisingly, the main tools of entanglement theory are general ...
متن کاملNeural Information Processing
The central nervous system (CNS) is specialized in processing information originating from a variety of internal and external sources. Its basic information processing units are called nerve cells, or neurons. Within the CNS, these elementary building blocks are densely interconnected in hierarchical and parallel pathways. Information originating from sensory neurons in contact with the body pe...
