Some initial results are presented to show that Lowdin's two orthogonalization schemes, namely Symmetric and Canonical, can help to understand certain important aspects of the brain's competence to learn and memorize.
Abstract
We present some initial results to show that Löwdin's two orthogonalization schemes, namely Symmetric and Canonical, can help us to understand certain important aspects of the brain's competence to learn and memorize. We propose that these orthogonalizations may constitute the physiological actions that the brain may perform to deal with certain types of memories.

A model of a system having a large number of simple equivalent components, based on aspects of neurobiology but readily adapted to integrated circuits, produces a content-addressable memory which correctly yields an entire memory from any subpart of sufficient size.

From the Publisher: Substantial progress in understanding memory, the learning process, and self-organization by studying the properties of models of neural networks have resulted in discoveries of important parallels between the property of statistical, nonlinear cooperative systems in physics and neural networks.

The Hopfield model for a neural network is studied in the limit when the number of stored patterns increases with the size of the network, as $p=\ensuremath{\alpha}N$, and it is shown that, despite its spin-glass features, the model exhibits associative memory.

A geometrical view of all known orthogonalization procedures is taken in order to understand their distinctive features and the inter-connections between them and its possible application to certain cognitive phenomena.

The underlying features that an archetypal biological network must have in order to perform orthogonalization are characterized, and it is pointed out that a number of actual networks show this Archetypal network organization.

It is shown here that catastrophic interference occurs as a result of interference among patterns that lead to catastrophic effects when the number of patterns stored exceeds a critical limit, and when Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization is combined with the Hebb-Hopfield model, the model attains the ability to eliminate CI.

12 Citations2000Vipin Srivastava, S. F. Edwards
It is proposed that the brain might possess the property of adjusting a vector representing a new object to be lodged into memory so that it is orthogonal to the vectors corresponding to the memories already in store to be able to discriminate among the presented information and categorise them.
