  Computational neuroscience focuses on the detailed implementation of computation, studying neural codes, dynamics and circuits. Artificial neural networks tend to avoid precisely designed codes, dynamics or circuits, favoring strong optimization of cost functions (violent search), usually using simple and relatively homogeneous initial architectures, using structured architectures, including for attention mechanisms, recursion and various forms of short- and long-term memory Second, the cost function and the training process become more efficient. Second, cost functions and training processes become more complex and evolve over time. Here we think about the brain in light of these ideas. We assume that (1) the brain optimizes the cost function, (2) the cost function is diverse and different at different locations in the brain at different stages of development, and (3) the optimization operation is performed within a framework that is pre-structured by behavior and matches the corresponding computational problem. In support of these hypotheses, we argue that a series of implementations of Credit Assignment via multilayer neurons is compatible with our current knowledge of neural circuits and that some specialized systems of the brain can be interpreted to achieve efficient optimization for specific problems. Through a series of interacting cost functions, such non-uniformly optimized systems make the learning process data efficient and precisely tailored to the needs of the organism. Show less

  • 2003 - 2008

  You find great challenges exhilarating and enjoy identifying and defining problems as much as solving them. You can deliver. You may enjoy having thoughtful conversations about problems and refining designs, but ultimately, you know it's important to deliver a manufacturable solution that works every time. You are an interdisciplinary team player. You're excited about working with and learning from software, mechanical, electrical, materials, and biological engineers, as well as neuroscientists. You can easily communicate across teams. Resourceful, flexible, and adaptable; no task is too big or too small Show less

  The human brain is a marvel of biological evolution, a highly complex biological tissue composed of hundreds of billions of nerve cells of hundreds of different types. Understanding the structure and function of the brain is the most challenging frontier scientific problem of the 21st century; understanding the neural basis of cognition, thought, consciousness, and language is the ultimate challenge for human beings to understand nature and themselves. Understanding the neural basis of cognition, thought, consciousness, and language is the ultimate challenge for humans to understand nature and themselves. Brain science understanding of the neural basis of various brain functions has important clinical implications for effective diagnosis and treatment of brain diseases; brain science-inspired brain-like research can facilitate the development of next-generation artificial intelligence technologies and new information industries.
