 on the topic of

*Illuminating synaptic learning*

*Abstract: *How do synapses in the middle of the brain know how to adjust
their weight to advance a behavioral goal (i.e. learning)? This is referred
to as the synaptic ‘credit assignment problem’. A large variety of synaptic
learning rules have been proposed, mainly in the context of artificial
neural networks. The most powerful learning rules (e.g. back-propagation of
error) are thought to be biologically implausible, whereas the widely
studied biological learning rules (Hebbian) are insufficient for
goal-directed learning. I will describe ongoing work focused on
understanding synaptic learning rules in the cortex in a brain-computer
interface task.
