VECTOR CODING AND NEURONAL MAPS

The model of vector coding is proposed. The excitation vector generate d in a neuronal ensemble simultaneously acts on a map of selective det ectors (selectors) producing a local excitation maximum that represent s the input stimulus. Vector coding is suggested also to explain assoc iative learning and memory. The output responses in the model are spec ified by excitation vectors triggered by the command neurons in the en sembles of premotor neurons.
