Abstract
There is a lot of evidence that cortical neurons show synchronized activity (Eckhorn et al., 1989; Gray, Singer, 1987). There is also a variety of synchronization-based models and simulations, but there are almost no arguments excluding the possibility that the investigated phenomena could also be explained without synchronization. Our results from comparison of two alternative models of complex neurons show quantitatively the superiority of a synchronization-based mechanism.
