We present an end-to-end architecture for embodied exploration inspired by two biological computations: predictive coding and uncertainty minimization. The can be applied to any setting in a task-independent intrinsically driven manner. first demonstrate our approach maze navigation task show that it discover the underlying transition distributions spatial features of environment. Second, we apply model more complex active vision task, whereby agent actively samples its visual environment...
Abstract Patients with focal temporal lobe seizures often experience loss of consciousness. In humans, this consciousness has been shown to be positively correlated EEG neocortical slow waves, similar those seen in non-REM sleep. Previous work rat models suggests that decreased activity subcortical arousal systems cause depressed cortical function during seizures. However, these studies were performed under light anesthesia, making it impossible correlate behavior, and therefore...
Abstract The effects of visual spatial attention on neuronal firing rates have been well characterized for neurons throughout the processing hierarchy. Interestingly, mechanisms by which generates more or fewer spikes in response to a stimulus remain unknown. One possibility is that boosts likelihood synaptic inputs neuron result spikes. We performed novel analysis measure local field potentials (LFPs) just prior spikes, reverse spike-triggered LFP “wavelets,” recorded primary cortex (V1)...
