Abstract

Inspired by the biological nervous system and leveraging the recent advances in neuroscience, artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been extensively investigated and achieved great success in various domains. Nevertheless, the link between the intricate cognitive activity of the biological brain and the learning scheme of ANNs is still unclear and under-explored. Therefore, in this study we aim to preliminarily examine the association between these two parts and provide some explanations and interpretations on the memory-related characteristics associated with neural network topologies and internal connections by modeling the EEG/ERP brain activities with echo state network (ESN)-like architecture. Vector autoregressive (VAR) is adopted for parameter training. The experimental results partially verify the role of network connection pattern and synaptic strength in the memory representation of ANNs.
