Documentation

Overview

Package fffb provides feedforward (FF) and feedback (FB) inhibition (FFFB) based on average (or maximum) excitatory netinput (FF) and activation (FB).

This produces a robust, graded k-Winners-Take-All dynamic of sparse distributed representations having approximately k out of N neurons active at any time, where k is typically 10-20 percent of N.
