A feature-linking mechanism using the synchronized responses of neural assemblies was studied for chaotic cellar neural networks (Chaotic-CNN). Chaotic-CNNs consist of chaotic spike response neurons that show chaotic interspike-interval dynamics. In our scheme of feature linking, the features of the target objects are linked by the synchronized spike responses characterized by the temporal chaotic pattern of the spike sequence. In this paper, we analyze the synchronized spike responses invoked by the visual stimulus of moving bars. Consequently, the resulting neural assemblies have higher correlation for the visual stimulus of two bars moving in the same direction than in the opposite direction. We also discuss the possibility of feature linking using the chaotic synchronized responses.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
