A ring network allows for small, sensible errors.

five important traits fundamental to consciousness; these are the ‘axioms’ on which IIT is built. The first axiom is the basic fact that consciousness exists. Others include the observation that a conscious experience is composed of multiple distinct sensations, the experience is specific, it appears to us as an integrated whole and it is uniquely

the average number of bits in a symbol is equal to the number of yes-or-no questions you need to ask in order to get that amount of information.

A memory is an attractor because the activation of a few of the neurons that form the memory will drive the network to fill in the rest.

can eventually learn the correct value function for the states they’re exploring.

We now know that granule cell inputs cause a receptor in the membrane of the Purkinje cell to respond, effectively tagging which granule cell inputs were active at a given time.

The neuron needed just a small amount of time to monitor the range of speeds it was seeing and adapt its firing patterns accordingly.

The flip side of the flexibility of the Bayesian approach is that it can also be accused of having too many free parameters.

Neurons in the striatum contribute to the production of behaviour by associating sensory inputs with actions or actions with other actions.
