Inference and Prediction in Neocortical Circuits

This web page highlights some of the conjectures and open problems concerning Inference and Prediction in Neocortical Circuits.

If you would like to print a hard copy of the whole outline, you can download a dvi, postscript or pdf version.

A list of participants is available.

A preliminary workshop schedule is available. (PDF format)

1. How does human vision make good perceptual guesses about objects?
2. Anatomical Substrates for Functional Responses of Neurons in the Primate Visual Cerebral Cortex
3. Breakthroughs in Brain Computing
4. A saliency map in primary visual cortex
5. Different Functional Roles of Feedback and Horizontal Connnections
6. Distributed Syncrhony
7. Helmholtz Inference in Early Vision Areas
8. Neural Mechanisms of Perceptual Inference
9. Synaptic Integration in the Early Visual Pathway
10. Resonance Prediction and Priors
11. Notes from Breakout Session I
12. Notes from Breakout Session II

The individual participant contributions may have problems because converting complicated TeX into a web page is not an exact science. The dvi, ps, or pdf versions are your best bet.
