Possible Mechanism of Internal Visual Perception: Context-dependent Processing by Predictive Coding and Reservoir Computing Network
Hiroto Tamura, Yuichi Katori, Kazuyuki Aihara · Journal of Robotics Networking and Artificial Life · 2019
The predictive coding is a widely accepted hypothesis on how our internal visual perceptions are generated. Dynamical predictive coding with reservoir computing (PCRC) models have been proposed, but how they work remains to be clarified. Therefore, we first construct a simple PCRC network and analyze the nonlinear dynamics underlying it. Since the influence of contexts is another important factor on the visual perception, we also construct PCRC networks for the context-dependent task, and observe their attractor-landscapes on each context.
