A new study program in Magdeburg coordinated by our member Sebastian Stober, among others 👇

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...

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
