Adaptive Mechanisms and Afterimages
Afterimages are color inverted perceptual images that persist after fixating on an image for a long period of time. The perceptual mechanisms of afterimages suggest…
Can Neurons Learn to Adapt?
Can the fast adaptation of neurons explain how we are able to switch so quickly between different learned behaviors? If so, neurons must learn to…
Finding an Alternative to Connectionism
Mainstream theory of brain function revolves around patterns of connectivity. Could the adaptations of neurons be an alternative anchor that provides greater insight? Today’s mainstream…
