Minimizing Binding Errors Using Learned Conjunctive Features

Minimizing Binding Errors Using Learned

The Feasibility of the Conjunctive Use of Surface and Groundwater Resources in Dehloran Plain by Using the MODFLOW Model

Lack of the proper conjunctive use of surface and groundwater resources causes large water stresses in one of these resources. Conjunctive use of surface and groundwater, especially in arid and semi-arid regions, is a scientific and practical solution for sustainable water resources management. The aim of this research was to prepare some mathematical modeling to apply the conjunctive use of su...

Factors Affecting Medication Errors from Nurses' Perspective: Lessons Learned

Introduction: Medical errors are among the most threatening faults against patient’s safety in all countries. The most frequent medical errors are medication errors which can lead to serious effects and even death in patients. Therefore, this study aimed to explain factors affecting medication eroors from the viewpoints of nurses in order to present strategies to reduce these errors. Methods:...

Emergence of Vocal Developmental Sequences in a Predictive Coding Model of Speech Acquisition

Learning temporal patterns among primitive speech sequences and being able to control the motor apparatus for effective production of the learned patterns are imperative for speech acquisition in infants. In this paper, we develop a predictive coding model whose objective is to minimize the sensory (auditory) and proprioceptive prediction errors. Temporal patterns are learned by minimizing the ...

Using temporal binding for hierarchical recruitment of conjunctive concepts over delayed lines

The temporal correlation hypothesis proposes using distributed synchrony for the binding of different stimulus features. However, synchronized spikes must travel over cortical circuits that have varying-length pathways, leading to mismatched arrival times. This raises the question of how initial stimulus-dependent synchrony might be preserved at a destination binding site. Earlier, we proposed ...
