Figure 9

Schematic of encoding a single target from an RSVP stream. From bottom to top: the input layer is first activated, triggering the blaster, which amplifies the input (visible as a stepwise increase in input strength). The type node is initially excited by bottom up input and is sustained during encoding, represented abstractly with a grey bar at the top of the figure. Note that the blaster is strongly suppressed by ongoing encoding and then recovers to baseline.
