Emergence of memory

چکیده
We propose a new self-organizing mechanism behind the emergence of memory in which temporal sequences of stimuli are transformed into spatial activity patterns. In particular, the memory emerges despite the absence of temporal correlations in the stimuli. This suggests that neural systems may prepare a spatial structure for processing information before the information itself is available. A simple model illustrating the mechanism is presented based on three principles: (1) Competition between neural units, 2) Hebbian plasticity, and (3) recurrent connections.

The crux of these disagreements lies not in what processes are important, but rather, the role these different processes play in the emergence of autobiographical memory and ...
