How insights from the way the brain learns can be used to design adaptive learning mechanisms for AI that include both phylogenetic and ontogenetic aspects. So far, in this blog, […]

How Does the Brain Deal With Novelty?
Current theories of connectionism have a hard time explaining how the brain deals with novel situations. An alternative approach of fast hierarchical adaptations could solve some of the conundrums. Our […]
From Neurons to Concepts
How does the brain store concepts and activate them in a contextual manner? AI ignores concepts, connectionist models of the brain ignore concepts. What can explain them? In my preceding […]
How are Concepts Created in the Brain?
A concept is a general notion or construct of something that doesn’t necessarily need all the pieces exactly and depends on context. How does the brain produce ‘concepts’? Having a […]
Building The Brain With Modules
Models in computational neuroscience that solve for one outcome cannot combine with one that solves for another. Can a modular approach solve this? The short answer is No. Here’s why. […]
