Six principles for biologically based computational models of cortical cognition.

چکیده

This review describes and motivates six principles for computational cognitive neuroscience models: biological realism, distributed representations, inhibitory competition, bidirectional activation propagation, error-driven task learning, and Hebbian model learning. Although these principles are supported by a number of cognitive, computational and biological motivations, the prototypical neural-network model (a feedforward back-propagation network) incorporates only two of them, and no widely used model incorporates all of them. It is argued here that these principles should be integrated into a coherent overall framework, and some potential synergies and conflicts in doing so are discussed.

From physiological principles to computational models of the cortex.

Understanding the brain goes through the assimilation of an increasing amount of biological data going from single cell recording to brain imaging studies and behavioral analysis. The description of cognition at these three levels provides us with a grid of analysis that can be exploited for the design of computational models. Beyond data related to specific tasks to be emulated by models, each...

Generalization in Interactive Networks: The Benefits of Inhibitory Competition and Hebbian Learning

Computational models in cognitive neuroscience should ideally use biological properties and powerful computational principles to produce behavior consistent with psychological findings. Error-driven backpropagation is computationally powerful and has proven useful for modeling a range of psychological data but is not biologically plausible. Several approaches to implementing backpropagation in ...

Neurodynamical competition and cooperation mechanisms in brain functions

Cognitive functions of human behavior like selective attention, working memory and decision making require complex information processing techniques in order to select and represent the behavioral relevant information and to create the correct associations. Present-day research addresses these issues by developing neurodynamical computational models inspired from the structure and properties of...

The organization of thinking: what functional brain imaging reveals about the neuroarchitecture of complex cognition.

Recent findings in brain imaging, particularly in fMRI, are beginning to reveal some of the fundamental properties of the organization of the cortical systems that underpin complex cognition. We propose an emerging set of operating principles that govern this organization, characterizing the system as a set of collaborating cortical centers that operate as a large-scale cortical network. Two of...

Integrating Cognitive Models Based on Different Computational Methods

The mind integrates cognitive and perceptual processes that are currently best modeled using many different computational mechanisms. These are difficult to integrate into a single cognitive model and are thus a challenge to developing a unified model of human cognition. This paper presents two computational principles that identify common elements among these mechanisms and uses these principl...
