Structured cognitive representations and complex inference in neural systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
The dream of cognitive neuroscience has always been a seamless integration of cognitive representations with neural machinery, but—despite decades of work—fundamental gaps remain. Part of the problem is that many contemporary theories of cognition are formulated in terms of representations and computations that are quite different from those used in computational neuroscience. Bridging this gap requires more than simply a translation between theoretical concepts in the two fields; what is needed is a more radical updating of neuroscience’s theoretical vocabulary. What should this vocabulary look like? Some important features of representations and computations used in contemporary cognitive theories are:

Cognitive Tomography Reveals Complex, Task-Independent Mental Representations
Humans develop rich mental representations that guide their behavior in a variety of everyday tasks. However, it is unknown whether these representations, often formalized as priors in Bayesian inference, are specific for each task or subserve multiple tasks. Current approaches cannot distinguish between these two possibilities because they cannot extract comparable representations across diffe...
متن کاملThe use of wavelet - artificial neural network and adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system models to predict monthly precipitation
Precipitation forecasting due to its random nature in space and time always faced with many problems and this uncertainty reduces the validity of the forecasting model. Nowadays nonlinear networks as intelligent systems to predict such complex phenomena are widely used. One of the methods that have been considered in recent years in the fields of hydrology is use of wavelet transform as a moder...

The performance of symbolic inference tasks has long been a challenge to connectionists.In this paper, we present an extended survey of this area. Existing connectionist inference systems are reviewed, with particular reference to how they perform variable binding and rule-based reasoning and whether they involve distributed or localist representations. The benefits and disadvantages of differe...

متن کاملDesign and Simulation of Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference Based Controller for Chaotic Lorenz System
Chaos is a nonlinear behavior that shows chaotic and irregular responses to internal and external stimuli in dynamic systems. This behavior usually appears in systems that are highly sensitive to initial condition. In these systems, stabilization is a highly considerable tool for eliminating aberrant behaviors. In this paper, the problem of stabilization and tracking the chaos are investigated....
