The view of the brain as a passive computational engine that tries to understand (i.e., to form “representations” of) the world denies the essential agency of animals to act and to have an impact on the external world.
Breaking the jar: Why NeuroAI needs embodiment | The Transmitter: Neuroscience News and Perspectivesirst, feedback is a ubiquitous characteristic of biological neural networks. Feedforward models in which information flows in only one direction, such as from the retina to the lateral geniculate nucleus to the primary visual cortex, are popular because they are easy to interpret.
Breaking the jar: Why NeuroAI needs embodiment | The Transmitter: Neuroscience News and PerspectivesResolving this paradox is one of the most exciting use cases of neural manifolds, because it makes it possible to abstract away relevant features of behavioral computations from their low-level implementations.
Neural population-based approaches have opened new windows into neural computations and behavior | The Transmitter: Neuroscience News and PerspectivesThey proposed attractor network models—a neural circuit in which activity patterns settle into dynamical stable states—for sensory information processing, memory and decision-making.
The missing half of the neurodynamical systems theory | The Transmitter: Neuroscience News and Perspectivesthis would explain how seemingly gradual changes in brain structure can lead to the sudden emergence of an intellectual capability.
The missing half of the neurodynamical systems theory | The Transmitter: Neuroscience News and PerspectivesScience on AI models means treating the AI models themselves as the object of study, and using techniques from another field. Better understanding of the systems we are building is also often a positive. interpretability is maybe the canonical example of this there is work treating the parameters or activations of neural networks as stat-mech like ensembles there is work probing the apparanet psychology of AI models there is work treating the economic behavior and consequences of models etc. It might be useful to spend an hour brainstorming all the fields that could be used to do science on AI…

To achieve it without experiencing the beauty that life has to offer is to not achieve it at all.
