Cognition relies on the flexible organization of neural activity. In this discussion, we explore how many aspects of this organization can be described as emergent properties, not reducible to their constituent parts. We discuss how electrical fields in the brain can serve as a medium for propagating activity nearly instantaneously, and how population-level patterns of neural activity can organize computations through subspace coding.
认知依赖于神经活动的灵活组织。在本次讨论中,我们探讨了这种组织的多少方面可以被描述为突现属性,而不能还原为其组成部分。我们讨论了大脑中的电场如何能够作为一种几乎瞬间传播活动的介质,以及神经活动的群体水平模式如何通过子空间编码来组织计算。
