Why and How Make It More Biological
- Make the Connections more Biological to Make them More Useful
- This all relates to model building questions. The goal is
to use the computationally critical aspects of biological neural
systems.
- Use neurobiology to answer questions.
- Try to make conservative assumptions.
- Make explicit the assumptions where I have no biological evidence.
(e.g. compensatory learning rules)
- Keep it computationally efficient, because we're interested in
large nets.
- The particular things that are added are:
- Spreading Activation
- Neural Fatigue
- Inhibitory Neurons
- Spontaneous Activation
- Connections are distance biased
