New in @FrontiersIn: "Locations in the Neocortex: A Theory of Sensorimotor Object Recognition Using Cortical Grid Cells" frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Here on Twitter, I'll unbundle 3 interesting ideas that the paper is built on. Idea 1: Location representations can be specific to objects. Grid cells (in their idealized form, with multiple modules) demonstrate one way a single population of neurons could represent location and object identity simultaneously.
