Recognition memoryRecognition memory, a subcategory of declarative memory, is the ability to recognize previously encountered events, objects, or people. When the previously experienced event is reexperienced, this environmental content is matched to stored memory representations, eliciting matching signals. As first established by psychology experiments in the 1970s, recognition memory for pictures is quite remarkable: humans can remember thousands of images at high accuracy after seeing each only once and only for a few seconds.
Types of artificial neural networksThere are many types of artificial neural networks (ANN). Artificial neural networks are computational models inspired by biological neural networks, and are used to approximate functions that are generally unknown. Particularly, they are inspired by the behaviour of neurons and the electrical signals they convey between input (such as from the eyes or nerve endings in the hand), processing, and output from the brain (such as reacting to light, touch, or heat). The way neurons semantically communicate is an area of ongoing research.
Rythme cérébralUn rythme cérébral (appelé aussi activité neuro-électrique) désigne l'oscillation électromagnétique émise par le cerveau des êtres humains, mais également de tout être vivant. Le cortex frontal qui permet la cognition, la logique et le raisonnement est composé de neurones qui sont reliés entre eux par des synapses permettant la neurotransmission. Mesurables en volt et en hertz, ces ondes sont de très faible amplitude : de l'ordre du microvolt (chez l'être humain), elles ne suivent pas toujours une sinusoïde régulière.
Memory errorMemory gaps and errors refer to the incorrect recall, or complete loss, of information in the memory system for a specific detail and/or event. Memory errors may include remembering events that never occurred, or remembering them differently from the way they actually happened. These errors or gaps can occur due to a number of different reasons, including the emotional involvement in the situation, expectations and environmental changes.
Mémoire de travailLe système cognitif fonctionne en acquérant, filtrant et traitant des informations vitales, utiles, potentiellement utiles à court, moyen et long termes ; il a donc besoin de stocker (mémoriser) ces informations. Le cerveau semble pour cela disposer de systèmes différents, mais complémentaires, de mémoire à long terme et de mémoire à court terme. La notion de mémoire de travail, apparue dans les années 1970 désigne .
Réseau neuronal convolutifEn apprentissage automatique, un réseau de neurones convolutifs ou réseau de neurones à convolution (en anglais CNN ou ConvNet pour convolutional neural networks) est un type de réseau de neurones artificiels acycliques (feed-forward), dans lequel le motif de connexion entre les neurones est inspiré par le cortex visuel des animaux. Les neurones de cette région du cerveau sont arrangés de sorte qu'ils correspondent à des régions qui se chevauchent lors du pavage du champ visuel.
Implicit memoryIn psychology, implicit memory is one of the two main types of long-term human memory. It is acquired and used unconsciously, and can affect thoughts and behaviours. One of its most common forms is procedural memory, which allows people to perform certain tasks without conscious awareness of these previous experiences; for example, remembering how to tie one's shoes or ride a bicycle without consciously thinking about those activities.
Memory and agingAge-related memory loss, sometimes described as "normal aging" (also spelled "ageing" in British English), is qualitatively different from memory loss associated with types of dementia such as Alzheimer's disease, and is believed to have a different brain mechanism. Mild cognitive impairment Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a condition in which people face memory problems more often than that of the average person their age. These symptoms, however, do not prevent them from carrying out normal activities and are not as severe as the symptoms for Alzheimer's disease (AD).
Interference theoryThe interference theory is a theory regarding human memory. Interference occurs in learning. The notion is that memories encoded in long-term memory (LTM) are forgotten and cannot be retrieved into short-term memory (STM) because either memory could interfere with the other. There is an immense number of encoded memories within the storage of LTM. The challenge for memory retrieval is recalling the specific memory and working in the temporary workspace provided in STM.
Crête neuraleLa crête neurale ou plaque du toit désigne, chez l'embryon des craniates, une population de cellules transitoires et multipotentes générées à partir de la région la plus dorsale du tube neural. Ces cellules migrent dans l’ensemble de l'embryon au cours du développement et donnent naissance à une grande diversité de types cellulaires chez l'adulte.
