An Overview of Plasticity Mechanisms in the Brain (Part Two) - 15 November, 2021

Описание: In part two, visiting scientist Jeremy Forest continues his overview of the plasticity mechanisms in the brain and focuses on activity levels in neurons rather than dendritic spines.

He talks about how memory ensembles are dynamic and how neurons encode signals. He then explores different behavioral expressions of memory and context impacts plasticity mechanisms in neurons. He makes the case that all those mechanisms interact on widely different timescales and timescale should be considered when developing deep learning networks.

Numenta is leading the new era of machine intelligence. Our deep experience in theoretical neuroscience research has led to tremendous discoveries on how the brain works. We have developed a framework called the Thousand Brains Theory of Intelligence that will be fundamental to advancing the state of artificial intelligence and machine learning. By applying this theory to existing deep learning systems, we are addressing today’s bottlenecks while enabling tomorrow’s applications.
