sensory input pattern storage感觉输入模式存储.pptVIP

A MODEL OF HUMAN MEMORYJuly 2008 Memory patterns are probably not stored in the brain’s neurons. Why ? They take too long to train. New “on-the-fly” training disturbs old knowledge. Old knowledge must be retrained in order to be maintained. Where would the old knowledge be stored ? Catch 22. Once neural networks are trained, the training patterns are discarded. Human memory does not discard training patterns. Human memory records input patterns in great detail. Cite: Béla Julesz’s work with random dot stereograms and eidetic subject. SENSORY INPUT PATTERN STORAGE Sensory input patterns come from eyes, ears, tactile, olfactory, vestibular and other sensors. Incoming patterns are stored in empty folders, wherever they are located. Sequences of patterns, like videos are stored in the same folder. Visual, auditory, and other sensory patterns that were received at the same time are stored in the same folder. Only “interesting” input patterns are stored in the memory. They remain for the rest of one’s life. An eidetic stores everything, interesting or not. Sensory input patterns go to short term memory and, if interesting, are transferred to main memory and recorded for life. Short term memory ( of the order of a few seconds ) is used in the determination of what is interesting. The problem solver can also decide what is interesting. Autoassociative neural networks are used in the pattern retrieval process. Pattern retrieval occurs in response to prompt patterns. Prompt patterns may come from sensory inputs. The memory is organized in the form of independent segments to make possible a very large storage capacity. SEGMENT N NN SENSING STRONG TRAINING MUX SEGMENT N +1 PROBLEM SOLVER HIT?
