Neutral Stability, Rate Propagation, and Critical Branching in Feedforward Networks
Neutral Stability, Rate Propagation, and Critical Branching in Feedforward Networks
Recent experimental and computational evidence suggests that several dynamical properties may characterize the operating point of functioning neural networks: critical branching, neutral stability, and production of a wide range of firing patterns. We seek the simplest setting in which these properties emerge, clarifying their origin and relationship in random, feedforward …
