Fundamental bound on the persistence and capacity of short-term memory stored as graded persistent activity
It is widely believed that persistent neural activity underlies short-term memory. Yet, as we show, the degradation of information stored directly in such networks behaves differently from human short-term memory performance. We build a more general framework where memory is viewed as a problem of p...
