Planning, the evaluation of action sequences by anticipating their outcomes, is thought to coexist in the brain with simpler decision-making strategies, such as habit learning and heuristics. Though planning is often required for optimal choice, for many problems simpler strategies yield similar decisions, making them difficult to disambiguate. The scarcity of behavioral tasks that can dissociate planning from other decision mechanisms while generating rich decision data has hindered our understanding of the neural basis of planning. We developed a novel navigation task in which mice navigate to cued goal locations in a complex maze. A targeted search through the large space of possible maze layouts in that environment maximizes the number of decisions that are informative about the use of planning. Over the course of training mice learn shorter paths to goals, and the individual decisions composing these paths are better accounted for by planning than vector navigation. With hundreds of informative decisions per behavioral session, this paradigm opens the door to the study of the neural basis of route planning.","PeriodicalId":281121,"journal":{"name":"2019 Conference on Cognitive Computational Neuroscience","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125047362","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the simplest scenario of scalar search, a single quantity, e.g. concentration of a chemoattractant, is measured at different locations. Though gradient is considered a crucial component of scalar search, whether organisms rely solely on the gradient is unknown. We hypothesized that scalar search benefits from information other than gradient, including curvature (second-order derivatives) and long-term memory information integration. To test our hypothesis, we devised an information foraging task. In our task, human subjects control a circular avatar to find a peak of the contour by making brief fixations. They were rewarded when they approached the peak within the predefined maximum number of fixations. In our preliminary data, observed search trajectories deviated from what is expected from the gradient-based search, suggesting that the subjects utilized information beyond the gradient. We also manipulated the perception and action components of the task to examine the sensitivity of the adopted strategies to variations of the task design.","PeriodicalId":281121,"journal":{"name":"2019 Conference on Cognitive Computational Neuroscience","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125834667","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Advances in machine learning have begun to approximate and even surpass human performance, but these systems struggle to generalize what they have learned to untrained situations. We present a model based on well-established neurocomputational principles that demonstrates human-level generalization. This model is trained to play one video game (Breakout) and performs one-shot generalization to a new game (Pong) with different characteristics. The model generalizes because it learns structured representations that are functionally symbolic (viz., a role-filler binding calculus) from unstructured training data. It does so without feedback, and without requiring that structured representations are specified a priori. Specifically, the model uses neural co-activation to discover which characteristics of the input are invariant and to learn relational predicates, and oscillatory regularities in network firing to bind predicates to arguments. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of human-like generalization in a machine system that does not assume structured representations to begin with.","PeriodicalId":281121,"journal":{"name":"2019 Conference on Cognitive Computational Neuroscience","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125357374","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While this technique can identify an average response, it does not easily allow one to validate the robustness of that response nor variation of the response over repetitions of the sound. Here, we extend the ERP technique as a linear-nonlinear Bernoulli (LNB) model, inspired by neural models, in order to develop a framework for decoding the timing of stimulus events. We use this technique to analyze EEG recordings during presentations of continuous speech and examine neural responses to phonemes, which have been shown to have characteristic EEG responses. Pattern analysis of the confusion between phonemes separates phonemes into vowel and constants, indicating separate ERPs that can robustly predict these phoneme classes. We also find that vowels are decoded more accurately than consonants, and the time course of vowel predictability tracks the rhythm of vowels, while consonant predictability does not track the rhythm of consonants. Overall, we demonstrate a specific instance in which a linear-nonlinear Bernoulli modeling framework can be used to compare ERPs and quantify the ability to decode stimulus events from EEG.","PeriodicalId":281121,"journal":{"name":"2019 Conference on Cognitive Computational Neuroscience","volume":"105 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115245754","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This question has been tackled by measuring finegrained fMRI activity patterns across voxels, termed brain representations. These measured representations likely capture gross variations in activity across functional sub-regions, which are reflected in patterns of low spatial frequency. However, it is unclear whether patterns that are not driven by functional/anatomical structure (and are therefore expected to contain higher spatial frequencies) also contribute to these representations. Such rugged patterns have the potential to reflect more intricate stimulus-related information. Here we present a novel method for separating the highfrom the low-frequency patterns, and evaluating whether these patterns contain reliable information. By relying on cross-subject temporal synchronization of brain activity and within-subject consistency of activity patterns, our method provides evidence that, at least in sensory brain regions, highfrequency patterns hold reliable information. Using the same method we also demonstrate that many of these activity patterns are unique to each individual. These results demonstrate the potential of our novel method to shed new light on the types of information conveyed by brain representation.","PeriodicalId":281121,"journal":{"name":"2019 Conference on Cognitive Computational Neuroscience","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122665010","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, we currently have no method for predicting how individuals’ attention function may change with antidepressant treatment. Our goal was twofold: First, we modeled the effects of both stress and neural factors implicated in attention impairments and their interactions. To do so, we leveraged a large sample of depressed individuals from the international Study to Predict Optimized Treatment for Depression (iSPOT-D) assessed for attention impairments using a behavioral test, for stress using history of early life stress exposure, and for neural function using electroencephalography (EEG). Second, we developed models for predicting whether attention function changes over time as a function of an eight-week course of antidepressant treatment. Our models demonstrate that 1) early life stress interacts with oscillatory EEG signals to produce attention impairment, and 2) gradient boosted trees can be leveraged to predict changes in attention behavior with treatment. Our models provide novel insight into potential biomarkers of attention impairments in depressed individuals as well as how these impairments may change over time.","PeriodicalId":281121,"journal":{"name":"2019 Conference on Cognitive Computational Neuroscience","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129627874","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We present simulations of a fixed-architecture deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) with different training regimens, highlighting the extent to which learning to recognize many \"familiar\" faces allows for robust, but incomplete, generalization to new \"unfamiliar\" faces as compared to performance after familiarization. With some training, verification performance for previously unfamiliar faces improves modestly, but the performance difference between unfamiliar and familiar faces is much smaller than the performance boost from pre-training on faces as compared to objects in the ImageNet 1000-way image classification database. We also assess the generalization performance of our networks to other fine-grained visual tasks such as bird species and car model verification. We find that expert face recognition does not improve generalization to birds or cars compared to a network trained on a subset of ImageNet with all vehicles and birds removed. We conclude that the specific learned statistics within a domain of visual expertise determine its generalization to other domains, in contrast with domain-general accounts which highlight level of processing over domain-specific statistics.","PeriodicalId":281121,"journal":{"name":"2019 Conference on Cognitive Computational Neuroscience","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129724786","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
