Sparse coding of sensory inputs.
Several theoretical, computational, and experimental studies suggest that neurons encode sensory information using a small number of active neurons at any given point in time. This strategy, referred to as 'sparse coding', could possibly confer several advantages. First, it allows for increased storage capacity in associative memories; second, it makes the structure in natural signals explicit;...
متن کاملBayesian Clustering of Sensory Inputs by Dynamics
This paper describes a Bayesian approach to the abstraction of sensor dynamics using a new clustering algorithm for time series to learn prototypical behaviors of a robot's sensory inputs. Each sensor stream reading is modeled as a Markov chain (mc). The abstraction process is performed by an unsupervised clustering algorithm returning the most probable set of clusters capturing the robot's sen...
متن کاملNon-sensory inputs to angular path integration.
Non-sensory (cognitive) inputs can play a powerful role in monitoring one's self-motion. Previously, we showed that access to spatial memory dramatically increases response precision in an angular self-motion updating task [1]. Here, we examined whether spatial memory also enhances a particular type of self-motion updating - angular path integration. "Angular path integration" refers to the abi...
متن کاملInhibitory inputs tune the light response properties of dopaminergic amacrine cells in mouse retina.
Dopamine (DA) is a neuromodulator that in the retina adjusts the circuitry for visual processing in dim and bright light conditions. It is synthesized and released from retinal interneurons called dopaminergic amacrine cells (DACs), whose basic physiology is not yet been fully characterized. To investigate their cellular and input properties as well as light responses, DACs were targeted for wh...
متن کاملInteractions among converging sensory inputs in the superior colliculus.
The responses of superior colliculus cells to a given sensory stimulus were influenced by the presence or absence of other sensory cues. By pooling sensory inputs, many superior colliculus cells seem to amplify the effects of subtle environmental cues in certain conditions, whereas in others, responses to normally effective stimuli can be blocked. The observations illustrate the dynamic, intera...
