Dynamical encoding by networks of competing neuron groups: winnerless competition.
Following studies of olfactory processing in insects and fish, we investigate neural networks whose dynamics in phase space is represented by orbits near the heteroclinic connections between saddle regions (fixed points or limit cycles). These networks encode input information as trajectories along the heteroclinic connections. If there are N neurons in the network, the capacity is approximatel...
متن کاملCriteria for robustness of heteroclinic cycles in neural microcircuits
We introduce a test for robustness of heteroclinic cycles that appear in neural microcircuits modeled as coupled dynamical cells. Robust heteroclinic cycles (RHCs) can appear as robust attractors in Lotka-Volterra-type winnerless competition (WLC) models as well as in more general coupled and/or symmetric systems. It has been previously suggested that RHCs may be relevant to a range of neural a...
متن کاملHeteroclinic Contours in Neural Ensembles and the Winnerless Competition Principle
The ability of nonlinear dynamical systems to process incoming information is a key problem of many fundamental and applied sciences. Information processing by computation with attractors (steady states, limit cycles and strange attractors) has been a subject of many publications. In this paper we discuss a new direction in information dynamics based on neurophysiological experiments that can b...
متن کاملOn the Occurence of Stable Heteroclinic Channels in Random Networks
The Lotka-Volterra equations can be used to model the behavior of complex systems in nature. Trajectories in a stable heteroclinic channel describe transient dynamics according to the winnerless competition principle in such a system. The existence of such a channel is guaranteed if the parameters of the Lotka-Volterra equations satisfy a number of conditions. We study under what conditions a h...
متن کاملHeteroclinic Dynamics
The lectures will be responsive to the needs and background of the audience. In general terms, I hope to spend some time discussing where heteroclinic networks come from (and where to look for them) with particular reference to Lotka-Volterra systems, symmetric dynamics and network dynamics. I also want to look at some possible applications (including to neuroscience and winnerless competition)...
