Abstract: A well-known process for adaptation and gain normalization is compared with the process described by S. Ullman and G. Schechtman (Proc. R. Soc. Lond. B 216, 299-313 (1982)). A neural interpretation of this process in terms of transmitter gating, slow accumulation, and release is described. Applications to a wide variety of problems in perception, cognition, and motivated behaviour can be made by embedding the gating process into opponent processes, notably shunting on-centre off-surround networks, to form a network module called a gated dipole field.

Adaptation and transmitter gating in vertebrate photoreceptors
A quantitative model for the transduction dynamics whereby intracellular transmitter in a vertebrate cone mediates between light input and voltage output is analyzed. a basic postulate is that the transmitter acts to ... Article Details
Adaptive pattern classification and universal recoding: II Feedback, expectation, olfaction, illusions
Part I of this paper describes a model for the parallel development and adult coding of neural feature detectors. It shows how any set of arbitrary spatial patterns can be recoded, or transformed, into any other spatial ... Article Details
A theory of human memory: Self-organization and performance of sensory-motor codes, maps, and plans
A psychophysiological theory of the self-organization and performance of sensory-motor codes, maps, and plans is derived herein. this general topic includes a variety of phenomena in many species, ranging from the ... Article Details
How does a brain build a cognitive code?
This article indicates how competition between afferent data and learned feed-back expectancies can stabilize a developing code by buffering committed populations of detectors against continual erosion by new environmental ... Article Details
