Representational models: A common framework for understanding encoding, pattern-component, and representational-similarity analysis
Representational models specify how activity patterns in populations of neurons (or, more generally, in multivariate brain-activity measurements) relate to sensory stimuli, motor responses, or cognitive processes. In an experimental context, representational models can be defined as hypotheses about the distribution of activity profiles across experimental conditions. Currently, three different...
متن کاملA Toolbox for Representational Similarity Analysis
Neuronal population codes are increasingly being investigated with multivariate pattern-information analyses. A key challenge is to use measured brain-activity patterns to test computational models of brain information processing. One approach to this problem is representational similarity analysis (RSA), which characterizes a representation in a brain or computational model by the distance mat...
متن کاملA Representational Framework for Visual Knowledge
Visual knowledge refers to the set of conceptualizations owned and used by imagistic-domain experts on problem-solving tasks. Because of its visual nature, there is a lack of constructs for representing this kind of knowledge using ontologies. This paper presents hybrid meta-constructs proposed to formalize and represent visual knowledge using ontologies. Beyond that, this paper presents a visu...
متن کاملExtended-HowNet: A Representational Framework for Concepts
Natural languages are means to denote concepts. However word sense ambiguities make natural language processing and conceptual processing almost impossible. To bridge the gaps between natural language representations and conceptual representations, we propose a universal concept representational mechanism, called Extended-HowNet, which was evolved from HowNet. It extends the word sense definiti...
متن کاملAppraising Non-Representational Models
Many scientific models are non-representational in that they refer to merely possible processes, background conditions and results. The paper shows how such nonrepresentational models can be appraised, beyond the weak role that they might play as heuristic tools. Using conceptual distinctions from the discussion of how-possibly explanations, six types of models are distinguished by their modal ...
