Feb 7 Review • Discussed how the concept of vector and vector space applies to modeling the encoding of faces – Implications for facial concepts such as beauty and caricatures • Discussed the goals of Hawkins book • Described the basic organizational features of the cerebral cortex – The major regions of the cortex – The 6 layer structure of the cortex • Discussed Hawkins insight regarding the shared architecture of all cortical areas – Described the basic features of architectural maps and their arrangement into hierarchies Feb 7 Review- con’t • Reviewed Churchland’s description of the architecture of a facial recognition network – – – – – Principles of operation of a 3-layer network Described how networks are trained via back-propagation Differentiated between a training set and a testing set Described how network can recognize degraded/occluded faces Discussed the organization of the face space created and how categories emerge (male/female) – Described the vector dimensions of the middle layer – holons – Described how basins of attraction induce categorization Case Studies of Prosopagnosia • A clinical case of prosopagnosia • Oliver Sacks – The Man Who Mistook his wife for a hat • Paintings of Chuck Close • The Prosopagnosia of Close LeDoux – Building the Brain • Neural networks – the false dichotomy between nature and nurture • The functions of proteins in developing architecture – guiding, scaffolding • Steps in neural development Origin of Nervous System Differentiation of Major Regions Cells arise from ventricle and then migrate Similar to Figure 4.1 in LeDoux The Role of Stem Cells Differentiation and the development of processes Cell death and synaptogenesis Development of neuroconnectivity in infancy Issue of Selection vs. Instruction • Historical Issues • The major tenets of selection – Exuberance, use and subtraction • Hubel and Wiesel’s observations – Visual cortical cells form columns that are sensitive to one eye – In young animals cells respond to both eyes – If eye is suture, functional connections only develop to good eye – Axons increase in complexity during developmentactivity serves as instruction Activity based Neuroconnectivity • An alternative to back-propagation • Cells that fire together wire together – Hebbian connectivity • Hebbian principle’s operation during development- synchronized waves along retina • Role of NMDA-glutamate receptors • Role of neurotrophins Implications for Evolutionary Psychology • A priori knowledge in classic nativism innate ideas • A priori knowledge innate predispositions – Plasticity present in all neural circuits within systems • Fear [Garcia effect] • Language • Neural network – nativism vs. constructionism - Elman / Quartz / Sejnowski Ethology emphasize nativism Predisposition to Learn- Constructivism Garcia Effect- A classic study illustrating the interaction between nature and nurture Nature and nurture in language Williams Syndrome illustrates how plasticity is system specific Although all motor maps are basically the same, Merzenich studied how they can be constructed by experience This principle has been applied to dyslexia by providing phonemic stimulation to dyslexic children
