    @AlexanderNaume2 @shearic @1000brainsproj Just to check @AlexanderNaume2 , what do you mean by each column? The general algorithm for a column is described in the paper I linked above. A more neuroscience-focused description is given in the below papers. Does that help? https://t.co/S673oTkF0i https://t.co/upWJs2cZ5z

Abstract Synopsis

  • The paper proposes a new framework to understand how the neocortex functions by suggesting that grid cells, known for spatial awareness in the entorhinal cortex, are also present throughout the neocortex.
  • These cortical grid cells could help represent various locations related to different stimuli, such as tactile and visual features, in a unified way.
  • The authors argue that this grid cell mechanism allows the neocortex to create and manage models of objects and their behaviors, indicating a location-based approach to both simple and complex cognitive tasks.
