Karthik Soman, Srinivasa Chakravarthy, Michael M Yartsev, "A hierarchical anti-Hebbian network model for the formation of spatial cells in three-dimensional space", Nature Communications (2018) 9:4046 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-018-06441-5

This model was contributed by Karthik Soman.

This model shows how spatial representations in 3D space could emerge using unsupervised neural networks. Model is a hierarchical one which means that it has multiple layers, where each layer has a specific function to achieve. This architecture is more of a generalised one i.e. it gives rise to different kinds of spatial representations after training.
