Neuronal Unit of Thoughts (NUTs); AÂ Probabilistic Formalism for Higher-Order Cognition

A probabilistic graphical model, Neuronal Unit of Thoughts (NUTs), is proposed in this paper that offers a formalism for the integration of lower-level cognitions. Nodes or neurons in NUTs represent sensory data or mental concepts or actions, and edges the causal relation between them. A node affec...
