A Philosophical Understanding of Representation for Neuroscience
Ben Baker, Benjamin Lansdell, Konrad Kording
Neuroscientists often describe neural activity as a representation of something, or claim to have found evidence for a neural representation. But what do these statements mean? The…
Learning to solve the credit assignment problem
Benjamin James Lansdell, Prashanth Ravi Prakash, Konrad Paul Kording
Backpropagation is driving today's artificial neural networks (ANNs). However, despite extensive research, it remains unclear if the brain implements this algorithm. Among neurosci…
Towards learning-to-learn
Benjamin James Lansdell, Konrad Paul Kording
In good old-fashioned artificial intelligence (GOFAI), humans specified systems that solved problems. Much of the recent progress in AI has come from replacing human insights by le…
Reconfiguring motor circuits for a joint manual and BCI task
Benjamin Lansdell, Ivana Milovanovic, Cooper Mellema +3
Designing brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) that can be used in conjunction with ongoing motor behavior requires an understanding of how neural activity co-opted for brain control i…
A reaction-diffusion model of cholinergic retinal waves
Benjamin Lansdell, Kevin Ford, J. Nathan Kutz
Prior to receiving visual stimuli, spontaneous, correlated activity called retinal waves drives activity-dependent developmental programs. Early-stage waves mediated by acetylcholi…
