Few thoughts on NISPA presentation

Their method reminds me of this neuroscience study which found something similar: that not all neurons can learn at the same time.

Neural Learning is Episodic

Acquisition of Neural Learning in Cerebellum and Cerebral Cortex for Smooth Pursuit Eye Movements Li, Medina, Frank, Lisberger, 2011 We evaluated the emergence of neural learning in the frontal eye fields (FEFSEM) [note: this is an area of the frontal cortex] and the floccular complex of the cerebellum while monkeys learned a precisely timed change in the direction of pursuit eye movement. For each neuron, we measured the time course of changes in neural response across a learning session that…
