Self-organized chaos through polyhomeostatic optimization
Abstract
The goal of polyhomeostatic control is to achieve a certain target distribution of behaviors, in contrast to polyhomeostatic regulation which aims at stabilizing a steady-state dynamical state. We consider polyhomeostasis for individual and networks of firing-rate neurons, adapting to achieve target distributions of firing rates maximizing information entropy. We show that any finite polyhomeostatic adaption rate destroys all attractors in Hopfield-like network setups, leading to intermittently bursting behavior and self-organized chaos. The importance of polyhomeostasis to adapting behavior in general is discussed.
