How to perform Path Integration in RatSLAM?
The excerpt note is about path integration in RatSLAM from Michael et al. 2010, 2008, 2004.
The RatSLAM system uses poses cells to concurrently represent the beliefs about the location and orientation of the robot. By representing 
in the same …
How does the velocity take effects on movement of activity of Pose Cells in RatSLAM?
The excerpt note is about how to move the activity of pose cells according to the translational and rotational velocity in RatSLAM from Michael et al. 2008, 2004.
The new path integration method shifts existing pose cell activity rather than …
How to update the activity of pose cells in RatSLAM?
The excerpt note is from Michael et al., 2008, which explains the detail process to update the activity of pose cells in RatSLAM.
Milford, Michael J., and Gordon F. Wyeth. “Mapping a suburb with a single camera using a …

How Self-Motion Updates the Head Direction Cell Attractor?
Laurens J., et al., 2018 reviews head direction cells. They propose a quantitative framework whereby this drive represents a multisensory self-motion estimate computed through an internal model that uses sensory prediction errors of vestibular, visual, and somatosensory cues to improve …
How to implement internal dynamics of the head direction network in brain inspired 1D SLAM?
The excerpt note is from the Michael’s book. The example code is implemented by Fangwen, which can help us to understand the process and principle of the method.
Michael Milford. Robot Navigation from Nature: Simultaneous Localisation, Mapping, and Path Planning …
How to model the hippocampal place cell activity for spatial cognition and neuro-mimetic navigation?
This excerpt note is about place cell activity model from the Arleo A. et al. 2000 paper.
Arleo, Angelo, and Wulfram Gerstner. “Spatial cognition and neuro-mimetic navigation: a model of hippocampal place cell activity.” Biological cybernetics 83, no. …
