Binding Presentation and Testing

One horizontal pattern and one vertical pattern were selected.
50 randomly selected neurons were presented for 50 cycles, and the system was allowed to run for 350 further cycles.
That is, the patterns to be bound were presented for one epoch.
Four test epochs followed, one for the bound horizontal pattern, one for the bound vertical pattern, one for an unbound horizontal pattern, and one for an unbound vertical pattern.
There are then three unbinding epochs. During this period there is no external activation except spontaneous activation.
The 4 test epochs are then repeated.
For each net, this process is repeated 10 times.
We tested on 10 different nets.
When the bound patterns were presented, they persisted.
Initially only the spontaneously activated neurons fired in the binding area.
However, later in the epoch, extra neurons in the binding area started to fire.
