Detail: He lived 1904 to 1985. Memory and information distribute among cortex cell assemblies. Synapses strengthen if presynaptic activity correlates with postsynaptic activity {Hebb rule}. Hebbian rules can only find large input correlations, like interactions between self-generated actions and perceptions. For example, neurons can correlate saccadic eye movements with neuron responses to find motion direction. Eye movement signals that direct saccades to objects initiate object representation. Network circuits {Hebbian circuit} can learn only if receiving part alters sending-part behavior.
