A New Theory for How the Brain Learns

Explore a groundbreaking theory on brain learning in this 33-minute video presentation. Delve into the mystery of how the brain acquires knowledge, focusing on the role of neuroplasticity. Discover how bursts of neuronal spikes and firings potentially send feedback signals, enabling multiplexing and addressing the credit assignment problem. Examine the concept of burst-dependent synaptic plasticity and its potential to coordinate learning in hierarchical circuits. Follow along as the presenter discusses neurons, feed-forward connections, and neuronal simulations. Gain insights from multiple experiments that support this innovative theory, offering a fresh perspective on the intricate workings of the brain's learning mechanisms.
