I continue to think interneuron circuits are an untapped inspiration in neural network design for context-dependent computation.
Feature-specific inhibitory connectivity augments the accuracy of cortical representations
To interpret complex sensory scenes, animals exploit statistical regularities to infer missing features and suppress redundant or ambiguous information. Cortical microcircuits might contribute to this...
