CDA Computational Design and Adaptation

Liquid State Machine Papers

I've done a bit with echo state networks (ESNs) and mostly neglected the more neuroscience motivated liquid state machine (LSM) research. However, there is some great work going on led by W. Maass. Here are two stand-out publications:

Distributed Fading Memory for Stimulus Properties in the Primary Visual Cortex - actual data from cat neocortex showing reservoir computing sort of responses.

State-dependent computations: spatiotemporal processing in cortical networks - fascinating review of a large body of research including nice discussions of high-dimensional trajectories.
