Abstract:Grid cells, found in the medial Entorhinal Cortex, are known for their regular spatial firing patterns. These cells have been proposed as the neural solution to a range of computational tasks, from performing path integration, to serving as a metric for space. Their exact function, however, remains fiercely debated. In this work, we explore the consequences of demanding distance preservation over small spatial scales in networks subject to a capacity constraint. We consider two distinct self-supervised models,… Show more
