That's all!

More bangers from Judge Young in the thread below. And check out my story for the full low-down on what happened yesterday — and what led up to this moment.

Does neural computation feel like something? In our new paper, we explore a paradox: if you replay all the neural activity of a brain—every spike, every synapse—does it recreate conscious experience?

New #NeuroAI #compneurosky preprint! To better understand how target-directed learning works in the brain, we sought to engineer an artificial neural network capable of solving complex image classification tasks that comprises only experimentally-supported biological building blocks. (1/15)

Our new paper is out in Science.

What is the synaptic plasticity rule in the brain, we asked. It turns out there are multiple, even within individual neurons.

Congrats Jake!

Distinct synaptic plasticity rules operate across dendritic compartments in vivo during learning
Synaptic plasticity underlies learning by modifying specific synaptic inputs to reshape neural activity and behavior. However, the rules governing which synapses will undergo different forms of plasti...

🥰 updated my perspective on building more adaptive AI with neuroscience inspired brain-like agentic systems.

If of interest, I hope it’s a nice review of adaptive behavior in neuro, cutting edge AI, and my proposal for an updated merger: arxiv.org/abs/2411.15234
Adaptive Intelligence: leveraging insights from adaptive behavior in animals to build flexible AI systems
Biological intelligence is inherently adaptive -- animals continually adjust their actions based on environmental feedback. However, creating adaptive artificial intelligence (AI) remains a major chal...
