The superior colliculus (SC) is a major site of signal integration that has been shown to drive the initiation of saccades in the brainstem. Previous work has shown that a winner-take-all mechanism implemented with a continuous attractor neural network (CANN) can explain and reproduce a multitude of behavioural findings, including the gap effect and the production of express saccades by K. Kopecz (1995) and by T.P. Trappenberg (2001). This investigation advances the CANN model of saccade initiation in several important ways in order to account for trial by trial adaptation of saccadic reaction times in a biologically plausible manner. A key hypothesis is that endogenous inputs to the intermediate layer of the SC can be adapted through motivationally-based feedback from other areas of the brain such as the basal ganglia or higher cortical areas.","PeriodicalId":365690,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 2005 IEEE International Joint Conference on Neural Networks, 2005.","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123742372","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}

The aim of the analysis is to finding out which statistic of the deterministic chaos of the constituent neurons is important for the chaotic associative neurodynamics. A method comparing features of the original time series with that of artificially made time series preserving some statistics of the original one is applied for the analysis as follows. Some of the constituent neurons in the chaotic neural network are replaced by their surrogate data. The retrieval frequencies of the original network and the network with three surrogate methods, that preserve the dynamic range of the original data, are compared. The results show that not only the auto-correlation in neuronal output of a neuron but also the cross-spectra among the neurons in the network play certain role for maintaining the associative chaotic neurodynamics.","PeriodicalId":365690,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 2005 IEEE International Joint Conference on Neural Networks, 2005.","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128474529","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}

They use internal categories with pre-defined geometry, given by the category choice function. Pre-defined geometry limits the ability of the categories to fit complex borders among output predictions for a given data set, and may contribute to the category proliferation problem. This work proposes Polytope ARTMAP (PTAM), whose category representation regions have general geometry-polytopes in R/sup n/ whose vertices are selected training patterns. The category borders compose a piece-wise linear approximation to the borders among predictions. Overlapping among categories is avoided in PTAM because they do not need to overlap in order to keep their geometry during learning. The choice function does not depend on the category size. Category growing is only limited by the other categories, and the vigilance parameter can be removed, so that PTAM learns a training data set without any parameter tuning.","PeriodicalId":365690,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 2005 IEEE International Joint Conference on Neural Networks, 2005.","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130307570","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 this model, the knowledge of how patterns change when objects move is learned and encapsulated in terms of high probability sequences at each level of the hierarchy. Configuration of object parts is captured by the patterns of coincident high probability sequences. This knowledge is then encoded in a highly efficient Bayesian network structure. The learning algorithm uses a temporal stability criterion to discover object concepts and movement patterns. We show that the architecture and algorithms are biologically plausible. The large scale architecture of the system matches the large scale organization of the cortex and the micro-circuits derived from the local computations match the anatomical data on cortical circuits. The system exhibits invariance across a wide variety of transformations and is robust in the presence of noise. Moreover, the model also offers alternative explanations for various known cortical phenomena.","PeriodicalId":365690,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 2005 IEEE International Joint Conference on Neural Networks, 2005.","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130531170","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}
