Neuroscience¶
4 primes originate from Neuroscience. 12 more draw from it as a secondary origin.
Primary members (4)¶
Primes whose canonical origin is Neuroscience.
- Associative Memory — Content-addressable storage where a cue retrieves linked content.
- Lateral Inhibition — Active elements suppress their neighbours, sharpening contrast.
- Predictive Coding — A system predicts its input and propagates only the prediction error.
- Temporal Synchronization and Phase Alignment — Phase alignment or misalignment determines efficiency and coherence.
Also draws from Neuroscience (12)¶
Primes whose canonical origin is elsewhere, but who list Neuroscience among their alternate origin domains.
- Attention — The selective allocation of a fixed processing capacity to some inputs while the rest are filtered out, surfacing scarcity upstream of every decision.
- Cascade — A change in one element triggers a chain of further changes.
- Cognitive Resource Depletion — Cognitive capacity degrades from sustained resource consumption.
- Latency — The irreducible delay between an input and the system's response.
- Multiplexing — Sharing one channel among many signals by dividing time, frequency, or code.
- Pattern Completion (Filling the Incomplete) — Infer missing structure.
- Potentiation — One factor enhances another.
- Segmentation and Boundary Drawing — Partitioning continuous domain via boundaries concentrates meaning.
- Self Control — Overriding immediate impulses in service of longer-term goals.
- Synchronization — The emergence of stable shared timing or phase among independent oscillating processes through local coupling, without any central conductor.
- Threshold — Safe vs harmful levels.
- Wisdom of the Crowds — Many independent noisy signals combine into an estimate better than any individual (information aggregation).
