Sparsity through evolutionary pruning prevents neuronal networks from overfitting.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
Modern Machine learning techniques take advantage of the exponentially rising calculation power in new generation processor units. Thus, the number of parameters which are trained to solve complex tasks was highly increased over the last decades. How...

Real-time sensory-motor integration of hippocampal place cell replay and prefrontal sequence learning in simulated and physical rat robots for novel path optimization.

Biological cybernetics
An open problem in the cognitive dimensions of navigation concerns how previous exploratory experience is reorganized in order to allow the creation of novel efficient navigation trajectories. This behavior is revealed in the "traveling salesrat prob...

Modeling uncertainty-seeking behavior mediated by cholinergic influence on dopamine.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
Recent findings suggest that acetylcholine mediates uncertainty-seeking behaviors through its projection to dopamine neurons - another neuromodulatory system known for its major role in reinforcement learning and decision-making. In this paper, we pr...

Machine Learning Identifies Large-Scale Reward-Related Activity Modulated by Dopaminergic Enhancement in Major Depression.

Biological psychiatry. Cognitive neuroscience and neuroimaging
BACKGROUND: Theoretical models have emphasized systems-level abnormalities in major depressive disorder (MDD). For unbiased yet rigorous evaluations of pathophysiological mechanisms underlying MDD, it is critically important to develop data-driven ap...

Putting a bug in ML: The moth olfactory network learns to read MNIST.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
We seek to (i) characterize the learning architectures exploited in biological neural networks for training on very few samples, and (ii) port these algorithmic structures to a machine learning context. The moth olfactory network is among the simples...

A Reservoir Computing Model of Reward-Modulated Motor Learning and Automaticity.

Neural computation
Reservoir computing is a biologically inspired class of learning algorithms in which the intrinsic dynamics of a recurrent neural network are mined to produce target time series. Most existing reservoir computing algorithms rely on fully supervised l...

Mental labour.

Nature human behaviour
Mental effort is an elementary notion in our folk psychology and a familiar fixture in everyday introspective experience. However, as an object of scientific study, mental effort has remained rather elusive. Cognitive psychology has provided some too...

Deep(er) Learning.

The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience
Animals successfully thrive in noisy environments with finite resources. The necessity to function with resource constraints has led evolution to design animal brains (and bodies) to be optimal in their use of computational power while being adaptabl...

Abdominal-Waving Control of Tethered Bumblebees Based on Sarsa With Transformed Reward.

IEEE transactions on cybernetics
Cyborg insects have attracted great attention as the flight performance they have is incomparable by micro aerial vehicles and play a critical role in supporting extensive applications. Approaches to construct cyborg insects consist of two major issu...

A Dynamic Connectome Supports the Emergence of Stable Computational Function of Neural Circuits through Reward-Based Learning.

eNeuro
Synaptic connections between neurons in the brain are dynamic because of continuously ongoing spine dynamics, axonal sprouting, and other processes. In fact, it was recently shown that the spontaneous synapse-autonomous component of spine dynamics is...
