From Neuronal Packets to Thoughtseeds: A Hierarchical Model of Embodied Cognition in the Global Workspace
Prakash Chandra Kavi, Gorka Zamora-López, Daniel Ari Friedman
The emergence of cognition requires a framework that bridges evolutionary principles with neurocomputational mechanisms. This paper introduces the novel "thoughtseed" framework, pr…
Chaotic synchronization in adaptive networks of pulse-coupled oscillators
German Mato, Antonio Politi, Alessandro Torcini
Ensembles of phase-oscillators are known to exhibit a variety of collective regimes. Here, we show that a simple mean-field model involving two heterogenous populations of pulse-co…
Emergence and maintenance of modularity in neural networks with Hebbian and anti-Hebbian inhibitory STDP
Raphaël Bergoin, Alessandro Torcini, Gustavo Deco +2
The modular and hierarchical organization of the brain is believed to support the coexistence of segregated (specialization) and integrated (binding) information processes. A relev…
Coexistence of asynchronous and clustered dynamics in noisy inhibitory neural networks
Yannick Feld, Alexander K. Hartmann, Alessandro Torcini
A regime of coexistence of asynchronous and clustered dynamics is analyzed for globally coupled homogeneous and heterogeneous inhibitory networks of quadratic integrate-and-fire (Q…
A robust balancing mechanism for spiking neural networks
Antonio Politi, Alessandro Torcini
Dynamical balance of excitation and inhibition is usually invoked to explain the irregular low firing activity observed in the cortex. We propose a robust nonlinear balancing mecha…
