Overview
Syllabus
Next Generation Recurrent Neural Network Models for Cognitive Neuroscience
How can artificial neural networks help us understand brains and minds?
Recurrent Neural Networks for cognitive neuroscience
How does the same circuit perform many tasks?
A single network is trained to perform many cognitive tasks
Clusters are causal to good performance
Continual learning of many cognitive tasks
Short-term memory Persistent activity, synaptic plasticity, or both?
Neural networks with short-term plasticity for short-term memory tasks
More persistent activity in lasks that require more manipulation
Opinion The bottleneck for multi-area models is not engineering
Discussion How do we build next-gen ANN models with style?
