Dynamical model of sequential spatial memory: winnerless competition of patterns
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce a new biologically-motivated model of sequential spatial memory which is based on the principle of winnerless competition (WLC). We implement this mechanism in a two-layer neural network structure and present the learning dynamics which leads to the formation of a WLC network. After learning, the system is capable of associative retrieval of pre-recorded sequences of spatial patterns.

Dynamics-based sequential memory: winnerless competition of patterns.
We introduce a biologically motivated dynamical principle of sequential memory which is based on winnerless competition (WLC) of event images. This mechanism is implemented in a two-layer neural model of sequential spatial memory. We present the learning dynamics which leads to the formation of a WLC network. After learning, the system is capable of associative retrieval of prerecorded sequence...
متن کاملDynamical origin of the effective storage capacity in the brain's working memory.
The capacity of working memory (WM), a short-term buffer for information in the brain, is limited. We suggest a model for sequential WM that is based upon winnerless competition amongst representations of available informational items. Analytical results for the underlying mathematical model relate WM capacity and relative lateral inhibition in the corresponding neural network. This implies an ...
متن کاملWinnerless Competition Principle in Individual Neurons and Cognitive Networks
6 Winnerless competition is a theoretical model used to study cognitive and 7 attention-based processes using the sequential switching between 8 metastable states of a neurodynamical system. This competition is observed 9 in both physical neural networks and in higher-ordered cognition. I 10 demonstrate this principle in a network of three interconnected Fitzhugh11 Nagumo neurons and in the wor...
متن کاملRobust sequential working memory recall in heterogeneous cognitive networks
Psychiatric disorders are often caused by partial heterogeneous disinhibition in cognitive networks, controlling sequential and spatial working memory (SWM). Such dynamic connectivity changes suggest that the normal relationship between the neuronal components within the network deteriorates. As a result, competitive network dynamics is qualitatively altered. This dynamics defines the robust re...
متن کاملBio-Inspired Dynamical Tools for Analyzing Cognition
The knowledge about higher brain centres in insects and how they affect the insect’s behaviour has increased significantly in recent years by theoretical and experimental investigations. Nowadays, a large body of evidence suggests that higher brain centres of insects are important for learning, short-term, longterm memory and play an important role for context generalisation (Bazhenof et al., 2...
