Emergent computation in simple model of neural activity
Abstract
We investigate the dynamics of a network consisting of an array of identical cortical units with nearest neighbor interactions under periodic arousal. Each unit consists of two interconnected populations of neurons tuned to a state in which many nonlinear resonances are available. The network is critically balanced due to short-ranged antisymmetric connections between units. For wide ranges of the network parameters, the patterns of activity resemble the dynamics of cellular automata. It is argued that these dynamical states may provide a template in which computation can be implemented.

Comments
Reason for withdrawal is that in the draft the study is not sufficiently well-motivated and incomplete. The draft as it is may be misleading. The network introduced in this draft was studied thoroughly and the results were published elsewhere. Please see https://doi.org/10.1063/1.4984800
