Efficient coding under constraint drives neural systems towards criticality and sloppiness
He Xiao, Xinyue Zhao, Haijun Zhou +1
It is widely accepted that the brain operates near a critical state, characterized by neural avalanches that follow power-law distributions. However, the functional rationale for w…

Response time of lateral predictive coding and benefits of modular structures
Guanghui Cai, Zhen-Ye Huang, Weikang Wang +1
Lateral predictive coding (LPC) is a simple theoretical framework to appreciate feature detection in biological neural circuits. Recent theoretical work [Huang et al., Phys.Rev.E 1…

Discontinuous phase transition of feature detection in lateral predictive coding
Zhen-Ye Huang, Weikang Wang, Hai-Jun Zhou
The brain may adopt the strategy of lateral predictive coding (LPC) to construct optimal internal representations for salient features in input sensory signals, reducing the energe…
