This Wednesday June 3, we will be holding a Brains@Bay talk at 10am PDT. If you’re unfamiliar with Brains@Bay, it’s a meetup group one of our researchers started last year that focuses on how neuroscience can inspire us to create improved artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms.
This Wednesday, we’re doing a special edition of the meetup in lieu of our regular Numenta Research meeting. We have invited researchers from the Allen Institute for Brain Science to discuss their recently published paper on modeling these connections. Speakers will be Stefan Mihalas, Ramakrishnan Iyer, and Brian Hu. For more details or to register for the talk, you can visit the Meetup page: https://www.meetup.com/BraIns-Bay/events/270695139/
Shouldn’t there be much more collaboration between the Numenta/HTM community and the Allen Institute, especially regarding the interdependent connections between the research on neocortical structures and computational neuroscience? At least an exchange on a periodic basis, perhaps twice a year, would seem mutually beneficial.
Here is just one amazing, awesome example of their research. (I do not use such words very often).
