4 Neural Implementations of Bayesian Inference Perceptual encoding: learning to represent world properties in terms of firing patterns Lecture notes adapted from Alexandre Pouget Zemel, R. S., Dayan, P., & Pouget, A. (1998). Probabilistic interpretation of population codes Neural Computation, 1(2), Perceptual decoding: interpretation of encoded pattern by subsequent neural processes Ma, W. J., Beck, J. M., Latham, P. E., & Pouget, A. (26). Bayesian inference with probabilistic population codes. Nature Neuroscience, 9(11), doi:1.138/nn179 Probabilistic brains: knowns and unknowns (213.) Pouget, A., Beck, J., Ma, W.J., Latham, P. Nature Neuroscience 16: Poisson noise Imagine the following process: we bin time into small intervals, δt. Then, for each interval, we toss a coin with probability, P(head) =p. If we get a head, we record a spike. This is the Bernoulli process of PS#1. For small p, the number of spikes per second follows a Poisson distribution with mean p/δt spikes/second (e.g., p=.1, δt=1ms, mean=1 spikes/sec). Properties of a Poisson process The variance should be equal to the mean A Poisson process does not care about the past, i.e., at a given time step, the outcome of the coin toss is independent of the past ( renewal process ). As a result, the inter-event intervals follow an exponential distribution (Caution: this is not a good marker of a Poisson process)
5 Poisson process and spiking The inter spike interval (ISI) distribution is close to an exponential except for short intervals (refractory period) and for bursting neurons Poisson process and spiking The variance in the spike count is proportional to the mean but the the constant of proportionality can be higher than 1 and the variance can be an polynomial function of the mean. Log σ 2 = β Log a +log α Actual data Simulated Poisson Process Poisson model Is Poisson variability really noise? to illustrate population coding return to orientation selectivity Where could it come from? Neurons embedded in a recurrent network with sparse connectivity tend to fire with statistics close to Poisson (Van Vreeswick and Sompolinski, Brunel, Banerjee) Could Poisson variability be useful for probabilistic computations? I.e. where knowledge of uncertainty is represented and used? Poisson-like representations can be used for Bayesian integration of information 2
