Simulation with a Different Presentation Method
- The same experiment with a different presentation mechanism
allows 2 CAs to form.
- Instead of presenting the same pattern for 20 cycles, present
a new pattern each cycle.
- Test presenting a pattern for 20 cycles
- This works because it reduces the synaptic weight variance

- However, it isn't a fair presentation mechanism
- It's not fair because it's not the way an organism would be presented
the pattern
- The idea is that a concept is a group of features that tend to
travel around together
- By presenting an instance of the pattern (20 of the 220 neurons that
travel together) for several cycles, the organism is seeing that
pattern for some time.
