Speed: Speed: The “hundred time steps” argumentThe “hundred time steps” argument
The critical resource that is most obvious is The critical resource that is most obvious is time. Neurons whose basic computational time. Neurons whose basic computational speed is a few milliseconds must be made to speed is a few milliseconds must be made to account for complex behaviors which are account for complex behaviors which are carried out in a few hudred milliseconds carried out in a few hudred milliseconds (Posner, 1978). This means that (Posner, 1978). This means that entire complex entire complex behaviors are carried out in less than a hundred behaviors are carried out in less than a hundred time steps.time steps.

Alternative conception of neuronsAlternative conception of neurons
• Neurons do not take the weighted sum of their Neurons do not take the weighted sum of their inputs (as in the perceptron), but measure the inputs (as in the perceptron), but measure the similarity of the weight vector to the input similarity of the weight vector to the input vectorvector
• The activation of the neuron is a measure of The activation of the neuron is a measure of similarity. The more similar the weight is to the similarity. The more similar the weight is to the input, the higher the activationinput, the higher the activation
