New Ideas for Brain Modelling 4-Figure 4. LHS relates to neuron binding ensemble mass, with central column activated. RHS relates to hierarchy, with a direct mapping. The two red lines show where the ensemble is missing and so it needs to be learned. The blue lines show extra neurons from the hierarchy back to the ensemble, but can be removed as error. The other paired black squares represent where the patterns match and can oscillate together.

<p>This paper continues the research that considers a new cognitive model based strongly on the human brain, last updated in Greer (2016). In particular, it considers figure 4 of that paper (Figure below) and how it might be useful in practice. The paper also describes some new methods in the areas of image processing and behaviour simulation. The image processing introduces a most classical form of pattern cross-referencing, while the behaviour equations used feedback for a memory-type of cross-referencing. The work is all based on earlier research by the author and the new additions are intended to fit in with the overall design. For image processing, a grid-like structure is used with ‘full linking’, if you like. Each cell in the classifier grid stores a list of all other cells it gets associated with and this is used as the learned image that new input is compared with. For the behaviour metric, a new prediction equation is suggested, as part of a simulation, that uses feedback and history to dynamically determine its current state and course of action. While the new methods are from widely different topics, both can be compared with the binary-analog type of interface that is the main focus of the paper. Sensory input may be static and binary, but cross- references result in variable comparisons that make the input more dynamic. It is suggested that the simplest of linking between a tree and ensemble can explain neural binding and variable signal strengths.
