Abstract

A new functional model for burst firing in the dorsal thalamus is proposed where thalamocortical pattern recognition systems, based on kernel machine principles, are connected by burst signaling. The systems include input trapping in the dorsal thalamus, cortical learning state memory and processing in the thalamic reticular nucleus. Misclassified events are captured as training examples in the waking state and the pattern recognition systems are trained by extensive thalamic bursting in deep sleep.
