Each neuron
receives inputs from other neurons
|
|
|
|
- |
Some
neurons also connect to receptors
|
|
|
|
- |
Cortical
neurons use spikes to communicate
|
|
|
|
- |
The
timing of spikes is important
|
|
|
| • |
The effect of
each input line on the
|
|
|
neuron is
controlled by a synaptic weight
|
|
|
|
– |
The
weights can be positive or negative
|
|
|
| • |
The synaptic
weights adapt so that the whole network learns
|
|
to perform useful
computations
|
|
|
|
– |
Recognizing
objects, understanding language, making
|
|
|
plans,
controlling the body
|
|
|
| • |
You have about
10 neurons each with about 10 weights
|
|
|
|
– |
A
huge number of weights can affect the computation in a
|
|
|
very
short time. Much better bandwidth than pentium.
