Three tiers of computation in transformers and in brain architectures
E Graham, R Granger
Human language and logic abilities are computationally quantified within the well-studied grammar-automata hierarchy. We identify three hierarchical tiers and two corresponding tra…
On the contrast-dependence of crowding
A Rodriguez, R Granger
Visual clutter affects our ability to see: objects that would be identifiable on their own, may become unrecognizable when presented close together ("crowding") -- but the psychoph…
Towards a perceptual distance metric for auditory stimuli
Sarah Oh, Elijah FW Bowen, Antonio Rodriguez +5
Although perceptual (dis)similarity between sensory stimuli seems akin to distance, measuring the Euclidean distance between vector representations of auditory stimuli is a poor es…
Visual stream connectivity predicts assessments of image quality
Elijah Bowen, Antonio Rodriguez, Damian Sowinski +1
Some biological mechanisms of early vision are comparatively well understood, but they have yet to be evaluated for their ability to accurately predict and explain human judgments…
Toward the quantification of cognition
Richard Granger
The machinery of the human brain -- analog, probabilistic, embodied -- can be characterized computationally, but what machinery confers what computational powers? Any such system c…
The differential geometry of perceptual similarity
Antonio M Rodriguez, Richard Granger
Human similarity judgments are inconsistent with Euclidean, Hamming, Mahalanobis, and the majority of measures used in the extensive literatures on similarity and dissimilarity. Fr…
Derivation of a novel efficient supervised learning algorithm from cortical-subcortical loops
Ashok Chandrashekar, Richard Granger
Although brain circuits presumably carry out useful perceptual algorithms, few instances of derived biological methods have been found to compete favorably against algorithms that…
How brains are built: Principles of computational neuroscience
Richard Granger
'If I cannot build it, I do not understand it.' So said Nobel laureate Richard Feynman, and by his metric, we understand a bit about physics, less about chemistry, and almost nothi…
The grammar of mammalian brain capacity
A Rodriguez, R Granger
Uniquely human abilities may arise from special-purpose brain circuitry, or from concerted general capacity increases due to our outsized brains. We forward a novel hypothesis of t…
