The highly irregular firing of cortical cells is inconsistent with temporal integration of random EPSPs
- Journal of Neuroscience
, 1993
"... How random is the discharge pattern of cortical neurons? We examined recordings from primary visual cortex (Vl; Knierim and Van Essen, 1992) and extrastriate cortex (MT; Newsome et al., 1989a) of awake, behaving macaque mon-key and compared them to analytical predictions. For non-bursting cells firi ..."

The Computational Brain.
, 1994
"... Keywords: reductionism, neural networks, distributed coding, Karl Pribram, computational neuroscience, receptive field 1.1 The broad goal of this book, expressed at the start, is ``to understand how neurons give rise to a mental life.'' A mental reductionism is assumed in this seductively ..."

PDP (parallel distributed processing, or artificial neural network) models were too biologically unrealistic to provide viable interpretations of the single-cell data. Churchland and Sejnowski show how distributed models can now attack this problem, providing significant insights into brain function
Theory for the development of neuron selectivity: orientation specificity and binocular interaction in visual cortex
- J. Neurosci
, 1982
"... The development of stimulus selectivity in the primary sensory cortex of higher vertebrates is considered in a general mathematical framework. A synaptic evolution scheme of a new kind is proposed in which incoming patterns rather than converging afferents compete. The change in the efficacy of a gi ..."

G.: Primary production of the biosphere: Integrating terrestrial and oceanic components
- Science
, 1998
"... Integrating conceptually similar models of the growth of marine and terrestrial primary producers yielded an estimated global net primary production (NPP) of 104.9 petagrams of carbon per year, with roughly equal contributions from land and oceans. Approaches based on satellite indices of absorbed s ..."

Primary Ocular Movements Revisited

Starting from traditional knowledge about ocular movements, mainly due to physiological observations, the paper revisits primary ocular processes and proposes some new ideas for oculomotor control. It is shown that using ..."

Transition Density, A New Measure of Activity in Digital Circuits
- IEEE Transactions on Computer-Aided Design
, 1992
"... Reliability assessment is an important part of the design process of digital integrated circuits. We observe that a common thread that runs through most causes of run-time failure is the extent of circuit activity, i.e., the rate at which its nodes are switching. We propose a new measure of activity ..."

Behavioral theories and the neurophysiology of reward,

Therefore, the investigation of neural mechanisms underlying reward functions requires behavioral theories that can ..."

We extend the definition of Walsh's martingale measure stochastic integral so as to be able to solve stochastic partial di#erential equations whose Green's function is not a function but a Schwartz distribution. This is the case for the wave equation in dimensions greater than two. Even wh ..."

when the integrand is a distribution, the value of our stochastic integral process is a real-valued martingale. We use this extended integral to recover necessary and su#cient conditions under which the linear wave equation driven by spatially homogeneous Gaussian noise has a process solution
