Nicole and I discuss how a signature for visual memory can be coded among the same population of neurons known to encode object identity, how the same coding scheme arises in convolutional neural networks trained to identify objects, and how neuroscience and machine learning (reinforcement learning) can join forces to understand how curiosity and novelty drive efficient learning.
Jackie and Bob discuss their research and thinking about curiosity. Jackie’s background is studying decision making and attention, recording neurons in nonhuman primates during...
Steve and I discuss many topics from his new book Know Thyself: The Science of Self-Awareness. The book covers the full range of what...
Stefan and I discuss creativity and constraint in artificial and biological intelligence. We talk about his Asimov Institute and its goal of artificial creativity...
