I just found this stub in a jacket that I guess I have not worn in twenty three years? 12 bucks for Lali Puna, sweat and spit and all, at the (tiny) Middle East downstairs on Mass Ave. Those were the days. So so good.

Hey @biorxiv-neursci.bsky.social your verification of my humanity is stuck in a forever loop, and it kinda ..... if my frustration is any measure of my humanity then I am defos HUMAN. Ayee!

Right!! 🤦♂️ Ic Ould have linked to that, it's on YouTube! Thanks!

Take home today: We have the tools to do automated discovery, in some sort of machine-augmented-human-intuition-y action. We use it to find (a LOT)(like 10,000)(dang!) new rules (that seems a LOT?) of degenerate solutions quadruplets that produce neural activities not unlike in experiments. Wicked.

More likely though it’s just support for @yann-lecun.bsky.social 's cherry-on-top hypothesis, i.e., that a good chunk of learning happens through local, unsupervised learning. Reward/supervisory modulation is for the high-end stuff, flipping and changing the plasticity rules at play.

Afawk, it’s the first time plastic spiking nets perform tasks, from novelty detection to sequence memorisation & omission detection; even aiding a supervised player to play Pong, with simple, pairwise rules, no additional stabilizing tricks. Does that mean it's sentience? Probably. Magic? Defos.

This is rule #a00fe (Fig. 2G), producing sequential replay: After looping 5 different stimuli into the network for about a minute, the network can play the sequence back for a while, though it forgets over the next 4 hours. Better write that number down before you forget. Or follow me on insta.

Here are the rules, at least the first 10,000 we sampled (2500 quadruplets), along with their performance stats, conveniently presented as collectible card decks. Choose your fave? You can learn what each stat means from this useful legend. plasticity.vogelslab.org

New "kid" on the block being @arifahamid.bsky.social (left). @joeraimondo.bsky.social (right) was supposed to have retired as well, but by his local proximity, he still gets to hang out! NOT fair.

... and so it begins again.🧠🌴🌊🌍 Imbizo.africa is on its way, ... without me 😥, but look! at the views through those windows.
I wanna go and learn about all things neuro at one of the most beautiful spots in the world. Don't you, too?
