摘要: A task that has been intensively studied at the neural level is f lutter discrimination. I argue discrimination entails a combination of temporal assignment problem and quantity comparison problem, propose network model how these problems are solved. The combines unsupervised one-layer supervised training. part clusters input features (stimulus + time window) categorizes resulting clusters. After training, shows good fit with both behavioral properties. New predictions outlined links other cognitive domains pointed out.
