Research Abstract |
We proposed a neuronal network model on the basis of the hypothesis that neuronal networks are optimized for information retention and transmission (infomax principle). Our model succeeded in reproducing the occurrences of repeated firing sequences and neuronal avalanches, which are observed in experiments. In addition, we proposed a local learning rule based on sparse coding, and reproduced the selectivity of simple and complex cells in V1.
