New Neurocomputational Brain Model Could Advance AI Research - Unite.AI

This new model provides deeper insight into how the brain develops complex cognitive abilities, and it could advance neural artificial intelligence (AI) research. .

The study describes neural development over three hierarchical levels of information processing: .

The new research provides deeper insight into the core mechanisms underlying cognition due to the model’s focus on the interplay between two fundamental types of learning

The results highlighted two fundamental mechanisms for the multilevel development of cognitive abilities in biological neural networks: 

“Our  model demonstrates how the neuro-AI convergence highlights biological mechanisms and cognitive architectures that can fuel the development of the next generation of artificial intelligence and even ultimately lead to artificial consciousness,” Dumas says. 

The team believes that by anchoring future computational models in biological and social realities, they will gain further insight into the core mechanisms underlying cognition
