A Unified Framework for Information Coding: Oscillations, Memory, and Zombie Modes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Synchronous neural activity can improve neural processing and is believed to mediate neuronal interaction by providing temporal windows during which information is more easily transferred. We demonstrate a pulse gating mechanism in a feedforward network that can exactly propagate graded information through a multilayer circuit. Based on this mechanism, we present a unified framework wherein neural information coding and processing can be considered as a product of linear maps under the active control of a pulse generator. Distinct control and processing components combine to form the basis for the binding, propagation, and processing of dynamically routed information within neural pathways. Using our framework, we construct example neural circuits to 1) maintain a shortterm memory, 2) compute time-windowed Fourier transforms, and 3) perform spatial rotations. We postulate that such circuits, with stereotyped control and processing of information, are the neural correlates of Crick and Koch’s zombie modes.

This work is a study of the Earths free oscillations considering a merge of solid and liquid model. At the turn of 19th century Geophysicists presented the theory of the free oscillations for a self-gravitating, isotropic and compressible sphere. Assuming a steel structure for an Earth size sphere, they predicted a period of oscillation of about 1 hour. About 50 years later, the free oscillat...
متن کاملSupplement to ZombieMemory: Extending Memory Lifetime by Reviving Dead Blocks
Zombie is an endurance management framework that enables a variety of error correction mechanisms to extend the lifetimes of memories that suffer from in-the-field bit failures, such as wearout in phase-change memory (PCM). Zombie supports both single-level cell (SLC) and multi-level cell (MLC) variants. It extends the lifetime of blocks in working memory pages (primary blocks) by pairing them ...

we study the free oscillations of a non-rotating earth-like planet in the presence of a force free magnetic field. The model consists of a solid inner core, a liquid outer core and a solid mantle which is spherically symmetric. The lagrangian displacements are decomposed into scaloidal, poloidal and toroidal components using a gauged version of Helmholtz theorem. These components are identifi...
متن کاملFlexible frequency control of cortical oscillations enables computations required for working memory.
Cognitive effort leads to a seeming cacophony of brain oscillations. For example, during tasks engaging working memory (WM), specific oscillatory frequency bands modulate in space and time. Despite ample data correlating such modulation to task performance, a mechanistic explanation remains elusive. We propose that flexible control of neural oscillations provides a unified mechanism for the rap...
