Face familiarity detection with complex synapses

Summary: Synaptic plasticity is a complex phenomenon involving multiple biochemical processes that operate on different timescales.Complexity can greatly increase memory capacity when the variables characterizing the synaptic dynamics have limited precision, as shown in simple memory retrieval problems involving random patterns.Here we turn to a real-world problem, face familiarity HEMP SEED OIL detection, and we show that synaptic complexity can be harnessed to store in memory a large number of faces that can be recognized at a later time.The number of recognizable faces grows almost linearly with the number of synapses and quadratically with the number of neurons.

Complex synapses outperform simple ones characterized by a single variable, even when the total number of dynamical variables is matched.Complex and simple synapses have distinct signatures that are testable Candle Holders in experiments.Our results indicate that a system with complex synapses can be used in real-world tasks such as face familiarity detection.
