Abstract:
Functionality of neural networks is based on changing connectivity between the neurons. Usually, such changes follow certain learning procedures that define which neurons are interconnected and what is the strength of the connection. The connected neurons form the distinguished groups also known as Hebbian ensembles that can act during long time or can disintegrate into smaller groups or even into separate neurons. In the paper, we consider the mechanism of assembling / disassembling of the groups of neurons. In contrast to the traditional approaches, we set ourselves to “the neuron’s point of view” and assume that the neuron chooses the neuron to connect with following the difference between the current individual entropy and the expected entropy of the ensemble. The states of the neurons are defined by the well-known Hodgkin-Huxley model and the entropy of the neuron and the neuron’s ensemble is calculated using the Klimontovich method. The suggested model is illustrated by numeric
al simulations that demonstrate its close relation with the known self-organizing systems and the dynamical models of the brain activity.
