• Abstract: This paper suggests a statistical framework for describing the relations between the physical and conceptual entities of a brain-like model. Features and concept instances are put into context, where the paper suggests that features may be the electrical wiring, although chemical connections are also possible. With this idea, the actual length of the connection is important, because it is related to firing rates and neuron synchronization, but the signal type is less important. The paper then suggests that concepts are neuron groups that link feature sets and concept instances are determined by chemical signals from those groups. Therefore, features become the static horizontal framework of the neural system and concepts are vertically interconnected combinations of these. With regards to functionality, the neuron is then considered to be functional and the more horizontal memory structures can even be glial. This would also suggest that features can be distributed entities and not concentrated to a single area. Another aspect could be signal 'breaks' that compartmentalise a pattern and may help with neural binding.

  We introduce Artificial Kuramotoy Neurons (AKOrN) as a dynamical alternative to threshold units. We show that this idea provides performance improvements across a wide spectrum of tasks.

  A fundamental paradigm in neuroscience is that cognitive functions are shaped by the brain's structural organization. We propose a framework in which the functional states of a structural connectome emerge as thermal equilibrium states of an algebraic quantum system. We apply this framework to the connectome of the nematode em Caenorhabditis elegans.

  Cross-frequency coupling (CFC) is associated with information integration across populations of neurons. We construct a model of CFC which predicts a computational role for observed $theta - gamma$ oscillatory circuits in the hippocampus and cortex. We show that the presence of CFC increases the memory capacity of a population of neurons connected by plastic synapses.

  We consider the problem of assessing the modularity exhibited by a partitioning of a network's neurons. We propose two proxies for this: importance, which reflects how crucial sets of neurons are to network performance; and coherence, which reflects how consistently their neurons associate with features of the inputs. We show that these partitionings, even ones based only on weights, reveal groups of neurons that are important and coherent.
