Unlike current AI systems, animals can quickly and flexibly adapt to changing environments.

This is the topic of our new perspective in Nature MI (rdcu.be/eSeif), where we relate dynamical and plasticity mechanisms in the brain to in-context and continual learning in AI. #NeuroAI
What neuroscience can tell AI about learning in continuously changing environments
Nature Machine Intelligence - Durstewitz et al. explore what artificial intelligence can learn from the brain’s ability to adjust quickly to changing environments. By linking neuroscience...

Thanks to @cnn.com for covering our research on London taxi drivers in their new, rather chatty, format 'Creators'

Taxi driver Tom Scullion is the star of this piece. He trains others to learn the knowledge an has so many insights into that process.

Newly released Stockholm Declaration recommends the following reforms to publishing:

1. Academia resumes control of publishing

2. Incentive systems to merit quality, not quantity

3. Independent fraud detection and prevention

4. Legislation and policies to protect science quality and integrity

Science relies on integrity and trustworthiness. But scientists under career pressure are lured to purchase fake publications from ‘paper mills’ that use AI-generated data, text and image fabrication....

A neural state space for episodic memories
Episodic memories are highly dynamic and change in nonlinear ways over time. This dynamism is not captured by existing systems consolidation theories …
