This page covers biological data aggregation approach of transformation of data by merging several streams of different modality without reduction of cardinality.

Overview

• neural streams have modalities, reflecting origin and meaning of neural signals
• number of streams within connection = number of fibers = cardinality of connection
• number of streams within nucleus = number of projecting neurons = cardinality of nucleus = cardinality of outgoing connection
• streams can go via processing centers:
  • within the same modality, with changing only dynamic features (e.g. ventroposterior thalamus with reticular thalamic nucleus to reduce noice)
  • aggregating, producing intramodality categories, e.g. visual features from visual images, which reduce streams, significantly decreasing cardinality of connections
  • aggregating several modalities without reducing cardinality (e.g. lateral lobe of cerebellar cortex has cardinality of inferior olivary nucleus, and is affected by pedunculopontine streams of different modality)
