520 | |a Abstract Brains must be adequate to process complex information, but they must also have a simple enough underlying organization to have evolved by natural selection. Beginning with a network model, originally developed to show how spatial orientational behavior might be organized with a modest number of neural connections, the following hypothesis is offered about a pattern of connections recurring within the brain: All significant activation patterns of a large number of input elements are transformed to output patterns by small numbers of associative subsystems, or modules, which do not require computerlike algorithms. They are single neurons or other functional units, which individually merely summate inputs; together, they discriminate among probable inputs without requiring a complex representation to do so. They may be thought of as registering (1) values of input dimensions, (2) combinations of activated input elements, or (3) numerical labels for distinct inputs. The informational capacity of a set of modules is a function of its number of modules and their dynamic range. The set works most efficiently if all its modules have the same range. Elementary combinatorial considerations suggest that besides receiving patterns of connections appropriate to the information being processed, sets of associative modules probably receive inputs systematically restricted in more general ways, for example by lateral inhibition or by connections from a small or large, but not intermediate, proportion of the set of input modules. | ||

Theoretical Note Parsimony in neural representations: Generalization of a model of spatial orientation ability |
abstract |
Abstract Brains must be adequate to process complex information, but they must also have a simple enough underlying organization to have evolved by natural selection. Beginning with a network model, originally developed to show how spatial orientational behavior might be organized with a modest number of neural connections, the following hypothesis is offered about a pattern of connections recurring within the brain: All significant activation patterns of a large number of input elements are transformed to output patterns by small numbers of associative subsystems, or modules, which do not require computerlike algorithms. They are single neurons or other functional units, which individually merely summate inputs; together, they discriminate among probable inputs without requiring a complex representation to do so. They may be thought of as registering (1) values of input dimensions, (2) combinations of activated input elements, or (3) numerical labels for distinct inputs. The informational capacity of a set of modules is a function of its number of modules and their dynamic range. The set works most efficiently if all its modules have the same range. Elementary combinatorial considerations suggest that besides receiving patterns of connections appropriate to the information being processed, sets of associative modules probably receive inputs systematically restricted in more general ways, for example by lateral inhibition or by connections from a small or large, but not intermediate, proportion of the set of input modules. © Psychonomic Society, Inc. 1985 |

Abstract Brains must be adequate to process complex information, but they must also have a simple enough underlying organization to have evolved by natural selection. Beginning with a network model, originally developed to show how spatial orientational behavior might be organized with a modest number of neural connections, the following hypothesis is offered about a pattern of connections recurring within the brain: All significant activation patterns of a large number of input elements are transformed to output patterns by small numbers of associative subsystems, or modules, which do not require computerlike algorithms. They are single neurons or other functional units, which individually merely summate inputs; together, they discriminate among probable inputs without requiring a complex representation to do so.
