Chapters 5 & 6 Notes
... Sound waves cause the tympanic membrane (eardrum) to vibrate. Humans can hear sounds waves with frequencies between 20 and 20,000 Hz. The three bones in the ear (malleus, incus, stapes) pass these vibrations on to the cochlea. The cochlea is a snail-shaped, fluid-filled structure in the inner ear. I ...

Symbolic Reasoning in Spiking Neurons:
... In the simplest case, 100 neurons could represent a 100 dimensional vector x by having each e be a different unit vector in each of the 100 dimensions. This would provide a completely local representation of each value in the vector. More realistically, 100 neurons could represent one or two dimensi ...
