Brain's Expectations Affect Learning
- algon33 7y agoAnyone have a link to the original paper?
- schuetze 7y agoI went back through the press release sources and found that it's actually based off of two recent papers: [1] https://academic.oup.com/cercor/advance-article-abstract/doi/10.1093/cercor/bhaa073/5810463?redirectedFrom=fulltext https://academic.oup.com/cercor/advance-article-abstract/doi... [2] https://www.jneurosci.org/content/early/2020/03/30/JNEUROSCI.2904-19.2020 https://www.jneurosci.org/content/early/2020/03/30/JNEUROSCI...
- downerending 7y agoWas I the only one wondering who Brian was?
- stanislavb 7y agoNo
- atlacatl_sv 7y agoi read Brian as well
- alexfromapex 7y agoIsn't this essentially what backpropagation does in neural networks?
- visarga 7y agoBackpropagation as we use it is not feasible in the brain, and is a general algorithm, this case is more specific, it's actually reinforcement learning. Expectations are part of RL, they measure if a strategy improves or not compared with previous experience.
- mromanuk 7y ago> “The brain appears to be particularly active when a learning strategy has to be changed while it takes significantly less energy to maintain a strategy,” Pleger noted What should we do, for better learning? Not have any particular preference, and don’t make a decision and force the brain to be open to new strategies. I’m misreading this?
- hhsuey 7y agoI don't think any conclusion can be made here based on energy expended.
- azhu 7y agoGo in with a playful attitude. It will help you balance being open with also being decisive. https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=play+and+learning+research&hl=en&as_sdt=0&as_vis=1&oi=scholart https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=play+and+learning+resea...
