Mechanisms for spontaneous symmetry breaking in developing visual cortex
Francesco Fumarola, Bettina Hein, Kenneth D. Miller
For the brain to recognize local orientations within images, neurons must spontaneously break the translation and rotation symmetry of their response functions -- an archetypal exa…
What is the dynamical regime of cerebral cortex?
Yashar Ahmadian, Kenneth D. Miller
Many studies have shown that the excitation and inhibition received by cortical neurons remain roughly balanced across many conditions. A key question for understanding the dynamic…
Properties of networks with partially structured and partially random connectivity
Yashar Ahmadian, Francesco Fumarola, Kenneth D. Miller
We provide a general formula for the eigenvalue density of large random matrices of the form , where , and are arbitrary deterministic matrices…
Analysis of the stabilized supralinear network
Yashar Ahmadian, Daniel B. Rubin, Kenneth D. Miller
We study a rate-model neural network composed of excitatory and inhibitory neurons in which neuronal input-output functions are power laws with a power greater than 1, as observed…
Learning unbelievable marginal probabilities
Xaq Pitkow, Yashar Ahmadian, Ken D. Miller
Loopy belief propagation performs approximate inference on graphical models with loops. One might hope to compensate for the approximation by adjusting model parameters. Learning a…
Adaptive Filtering Enhances Information Transmission in Visual Cortex
Tatyana O. Sharpee, Hiroki Sugihara, Andrei V. Kurgansky +3
Sensory neuroscience seeks to understand how the brain encodes natural environments. However, neural coding has largely been studied using simplified stimuli. In order to assess wh…
