be Professor Dr. Hans-Georg

Geissler of the University of Leipzig. I wrote him a general response to both reviews in January 2000, followed by these responses to specific points, both his own, and those

and

The model as presented is not a model of vision or audition or any other particular modality, but is a general model to confront the alternative neural receptive field paradigm, although examples from visual perception are used to exemplify the principles discussed. The more

欧阳育创编 2021.02.04 欧阳育创编 2021.02.04

specific visual model was submitted elsewhere, in the Orientational Harmonic model, where I showed how harmonic resonance accounts for specific visual illusory effects. As discussed above, the attempt here is to propose a general principle of neurocomputation, rather than a specific model of visual, auditory, or any other specific sensory modality. Again, what I am proposing is a paradigm rather than a theory, i.e. an

alternative

principle

neurocomputation with specific and unique properties, as an alternative

欧阳育创编 2021.02.04 欧阳育创编 2021.02.04

to the neuron doctrine paradigm of the spatial receptive field. If this paper is eventually accepted for publication, then I will resubmit my papers on visual illusory phenomena, referring to this paper to justify the use of the unconventional harmonic resonance mechanism.In part (2) (a) of your critique you say \"it is not clarified whether the postulated properties of Gestalts actually follow from this definition or partly derive from additional constraints.\" and \"I doubt that any of the reviewed examples for HR can treat just the

欧阳育创编 2021.02.04 欧阳育创编 2021.02.04

case of hler: (1961, p. 7) \"Human experience in the phenomenological sense cannot yet be treated with our most reliable methods; and when dealing with it, we may be forced to form new concepts which at first, will often be a bit vague.\" Wolfgang Kthe dog cited to demonstrate `emergence'. For this a hierarchy relation is needed.\" The principle of emergence in Gestalt theory is a very difficult concept to express in unambiguous terms, and the dog picture was presented to illustrate this rather elusive concept

欧阳育创编 2021.02.04 欧阳育创编 2021.02.04

with a concrete example. I do not suggest that HR as proposed in this paper can address the dog picture as such, since this is specifically a visual problem, and the HR model as presented is not a visual model. Rather, I propose that the feature detection paradigm cannot in principle handle this kind of ambiguity, the

欧阳育创编 2021.02.04 欧阳育创编 2021.02.04

is explained in the paper in the section

\"Recognition

Reification\" (p. 15-17) in which I propose that recognition is not simply a matter of the identification of features in the input, i.e. by the \"lighting up\" of a higher level feature node, but it involves a simultaneous

abstraction

and

reification, in which the higher level feature node reifies its particular pattern back at the input level, modulated by the exact pattern of the input. I appeal to the reader to see the reified form of the dog as

欧阳育创编 2021.02.04 欧阳育创编 2021.02.04

perceived edges and surfaces that are not present in the input stimulus, as evidence for this reification in perception, which appears at the same time that the recognition occurs. The remarkable property of this reification is that the dog appears not as an image of a canonical, or prototypical dog, but as a dog percept that is warped to the exact posture and configuration allowed by the input, as observed in the subjective experience of the dog picture. This explanation is subject to your criticism in your general

欧阳育创编 2021.02.04 欧阳育创编 2021.02.04

comments, that \"the author

demonstrates more insight than explicitly stated in assumptions and drawn conclusions\". I can only say that, in Kuhn's words, sometimes it is only personal and inarticulate aesthetic considerations that can be used to make the case.In the words of Wolfgang K?hler: (1961, p. 7)\"Human

experience

the

phenomenological sense cannot yet be treated with our most reliable methods; and when dealing with it, we may be forced to form new concepts which at first, will often be

64)\"Natural

sciences

continually advance explanatory hyptotheses, which cannot be verified by direct observation at the time when they are formed nor for a long time thereafter. Of such a kind were Ampere's theory of magnetism, the kinetic theory of gases, the electronic theory, the hypothesis of atomic disinte gration in the theory of radioactivity. Some of these assumptions

have

verified by direct obser vation, or have at least come close to such

(resonance) between behavior and the environment. This is really merely a metaphor, rather than a model.The PDP approach does

欧阳育创编 2021.02.04 欧阳育创编 2021.02.04

address the issue of emergence, but since the basic computational unit of the neural network model is a hard-wired receptive field, this theory suffers all the limitations of a template theory. The same holds for Grossberg's \"Adaptive Resonance Theory\which also uses the word resonance

The

ART

model

demonstrates the limitations of this

欧阳育创编 2021.02.04 欧阳育创编 2021.02.04

approach. For the only way that a higher-level detector, or \"F2 node\can

exhibit

generalization

different input patterns, is for it to have synaptic weights to all of the patterns to which it responds. In essence, the pattern of synaptic weights is a superposition or blurring together of all of the possible input patterns to which the F2 node should respond. In top-down priming mode therefore that F2 node would \"print\" that same blurred pattern back at the lower \"F1 node\" level, activating all of the

欧阳育创编 2021.02.04 欧阳育创编 2021.02.04

possible patterns to which that F2 node is tuned to respond. For example if an ART model were trained to respond to an \"X\"-shaped feature presented at all possible orientations, top-down priming of this node after training would \"print\" a pattern of all those X-shaped features

all

orientations

superimposed, which is simply an amorphous blob. In fact, that same node would respond even better to a blob feature than to any single X feature. In the presence of a partial or

pattern

欧阳育创编 2021.02.04 欧阳育创编 2021.02.04

presented at a particular orientation, the ART model could not complete that

generalization in recognition, but

欧阳育创编 2021.02.04 欧阳育创编 2021.02.04

specification in completion, is a property that is unique to the harmonic

resonance

representation.Kuhn observes that the old paradigm can always be reformulated to account for any particular phenomenon addressed by the new paradigm, just as the Ptolomaic

earth-

centered

cosmology could account for the motions of the planets to arbitrary precision, given enough nested cycles and epicycles of the crystal spheres. Similarly, a conventional neural network model can always be

欧阳育创编 2021.02.04 欧阳育创编 2021.02.04

contrived to exhibit the same functional behavior of generalized recognition but specific completion described above, but only by postulating

implausible

arrangement of spatial receptive fields. In this case that would require specific X-feature templates applied to the input at every possible orientation, any one of which can stimulate a single rotation-invariant X-feature node, to account for bottom-up rotation invariance in recognition. However in order to also

account

for

top-down

欧阳育创编 2021.02.04 欧阳育创编 2021.02.04

completion specific to orientation, top-down activation of the higher-level invariant node would have to feed back down to a set of top-down projection nodes, each of which is equipped with an X-shaped projective template at a particular orientation, able to project a complete X-shaped pattern on the input field. But the top-down completion must select only the specific

orientation. This system therefore requires two complete sets of X-feature receptive fields or templates, one set for bottom-up recognition and the other set for top-down completion, each set containing X-feature templates at every possible orientation, and similar sets of receptive fields would be required for the recognition of other shaped patterns such as \"T\" and \"V\" features. This represents a \"brute force\" approach to achieving invariance, which although perhaps marginally plausible in this specific example, is

plausibility

\"personal and inarticulate aesthetic consideration\" that cannot be determined unambiguously by the evaluative procedures characteristic of normal science.With regard to Pribram's Holographic theory, the concept of a hologram is closely

欧阳育创编 2021.02.04 欧阳育创编 2021.02.04

related to a standing wave model, since it too works by interference of waveforms. The difference is that the hologram is \"frozen in time\" like a photograph, and therefore does not exhibit the tolerance to elastic deformation of the input, as does the standing wave model. Neither does the hologram exhibit rotation invariance as does the standing wave in a circular- symmetric system. However holograms can in principle be constructed of dynamic standing waves, as Pribram himself suggests, and this concept then

欧阳育创编 2021.02.04 欧阳育创编 2021.02.04

becomes a harmonic resonance theory. The present proposal is therefore

closely

Pribram's approach, which will be discussed in the next version of the paper.The discussion of alternative models was indeed a significant omission in the version of the paper you reviewed, the next version will include such a discussion, which in turn will help to clarify the operational principles of the HR theory, and distinguish it from alternative approaches.In section (3) of your critique you propose that

欧阳育创编 2021.02.04 欧阳育创编 2021.02.04

\"notions like the receptive field concept propose involving

欧阳育创编 2021.02.04 欧阳育创编 2021.02.04

\"feature detector\" cells in the cortex. However the noisy stochastic nature of the neural response, and its very broad tuning function seem to argue against this view. My own hunch is that the feature detector behavior is itself a standing wave phenomenon, which is consistent with the fact that the response function of V1 cortical neurons resembles a Gabor function, which is itself a wavelet. However this issue is orthogonal to my main point, which is that whether or not some neurons behave as spatial templates,

欧阳育创编 2021.02.04 欧阳育创编 2021.02.04

the limitations of a template theory suggest that the Gestalt properties of

perception

(emergence,

invariance, reification, multistability) cannot be accounted for in that manner, and that some other significant principle of computation must be invoked to account for the Gestalt properties of perception.In section (4) you complain that there is no discussion of the limitations in the scope of HR. For example merely to reflect outside reality does not contribute to the problem of conscious

awareness

these

欧阳育创编 2021.02.04 欧阳育创编 2021.02.04

objects. However this issue is not unique to HR, it is a general philosophical issue that applies just as well to the alternative Neuron Doctrine model. But the Neuron doctrine itself cannot even plausibly account for the reflection of outside reality in an internal representation, due to the problems of emergence, reification, and invariance, which is why the Neuron Doctrine suggests a more abstracted concept of visual representation, in which the visual experience is encoded in a far more abstracted and abbreviated form.

欧阳育创编 2021.02.04 欧阳育创编 2021.02.04

Therefore although HR does not solve

the

\"problem

consciousness\" completely, it is one step closer to a solution than the alternative. The philosophical issue of consciousness however is beyond the scope of this paper, which is a theory of neural representation, rather than a philosophical paper. I enclose a copy of my book, \"The World In Your Head\which addresses these philosophical issues more extensively.Professor Geissler's ResponseProfessor Geissler kindly responded to my letter in April 2000
