Tomorrow (Saturday) 2 PM: An algorithmic tour of the brain

by Anthony Di Franco

Tomorrow if you join us you might be saying Today I Learned cool things about brain-inspired algorithms, and then had fun with PyBrain<http://pybrain.org/>afterwards. Jointly with Counter Culture labs, this: Study of the brain has inspired algorithms that seek to emulate how it functions for as long as practical computers have existed with which to try these algorithms out. We'll look at some of the most notable of these and find out how our understanding of the brain has given us powerful tools to solve difficult problems. Get a better handle on your noggin and how it might work with an algorithmic tour of the brain. · Cerebellum ― Cerebellar Model Articulation Controller · Cortex ― Perceptrons, Liquid State Networks, Long Short-Term Memory · Hippocampus ― Hopfield network · Thalamus ― Scale-free network Integrated systems ― Miikkulainen's DISCERN & artificial schizophrenia experiments · Tools & future directions Experience as a brain owner is all that is required! We'll start at a conceptual level suitable for the curious layperson and go deeper into the technical details according to your interests. http://www.meetup.com/Counter-Culture-Labs/events/140945552/

Alexander and Andre who are badass nano-biohackers will be backing me up. We'll be covering the basics of how DNA, RNA, proteins and gene splicing works. Hope to see you there! Love and Peace! https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Today_I_Learned#September_14_:_Understanding_DNA_… -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "lol-hackers" group.
