Part 1. Concepts of Brain Theory. 1. Lettvin's challenge. 2. Issues concerning the nature of neuronal response. 3. "Events" in the brain. 4. Cell assemblies. 5. Surprise, statistical inference, and conceptual notes. 6. A new term: ignitions which "reach" or "don't reach" a neuron. 7. Confirmation loops, powered by self-ignitions. 8. Communicating "relatedness" through time-linked ignitions. 9. Relational firing: broadcasting a shape through time-linked ignitions -- Part 2. Contour strings and the contour wave. 10. Enter the contour string. 11. Drift of the retinal image. 12. Theory of the simple cell. 13. Theory of the complex cell. 14. Corner processing: theory of the hypercomplex cell -- Part 3. Nodes, links, bridgeheads. 15. Nodes on contour strings. 16. Custom-made unstable networks made to support tracking. 17. Why is the drifting retinal image helpful in perception? 18. The maintenance of moving nodes and bridgeheads -- Part 4. Firing games and the integration of contours. 19. Making the first links by crawling along a contour string. 20. Using existing links to make new links on the same contour. 21. Completing a triangle of links |
