Neurons learn by predicting future activity

2020-09-28

Abstract excerpt

Understanding how the brain learns may lead to machines with human-like intellectual capacities. However, learning mechanisms in the brain are still not well understood. Here we demonstrate that the ability of a neuron to predict its future activity may provide an effective mechanism for learning in the brain. We show that comparing a neuron’s predicted activity with the actual activity provides a useful learning...
