Fig. 5
GP computer simulations either noise-free (on the left side) or with w5ht noise (on the right). Two screenshots captured at the same processing clock (displayed at the top) show the respective GP networks fed with the same set of input during 5 online/offline alternations. Compared to regular memory paths, two types of structural aberrations appear in the ‘noisy’ network: 1/ convergence of many stimuli towards the same location (purple links), and 2/ divergence of a single elementary pattern towards the same memory-path (in blue). Shortly after the beginning of a 50 alternations trial, the ‘pathological’ network is already 1.3 times bigger than the reference one when comparing their respective Cells and Links counters
