Binding via Synaptic Weight Change
- Another option is to bind via synaptic weight change.
- The standard explanation of long-term memory is
via synaptic weight change (LTP and LTD).
- A shorter-term weight change could be used for
binding.
- This would give a medium-term memory.
- There is also some biological evidence of Short-term
potentiation.
- The actual time course of synaptic weight change, its amount,
and persistence is not clear to the scientific community.
- We simulate binding using synaptic weight change that is
quite rapid (10ms).
