About this paper
Terrence J. Sejnowski
Sejnowski proposes that cortical traveling waves, precise spike timing, and spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) could form a second cognitive tier alongside rate-coded sensorimotor processing. Repeated fluctuating input can produce reproducible spikes, and monkey visual area MT responses to repeated motion patterns showed 3 ms timing precision. The proposed wave-to-plasticity mechanism could support hour-long working memory, but remains an untested hypothesis.
