Researchers outline how a robot could be taught to navigate through a maze by electrically stimulating a culture of brain nerve cells connected to the machine. These nerve cells were grown from living cells and acted as the physical reservoir…
Posted by Christopher Fifty, Research Engineer, Google Research, Brain Team Many machine learning (ML) models typically focus on learning one task at a time. For example, language models predict the probability of a next word given a context of past…
New research suggests the underlying function of ‘next-word prediction’ computational models closely resembles the function of language-processing centers in the human brain. Read More
