Numenta Research Meeting - October 14, 2020
Channel: Numenta

Subutai Ahmad and Jeff Hawkins clarify aspects of active dendrites, and some of the history behind them, for other members of our research group. Using two key papers as a backdrop, they highlight issues such as basic dendritic integration, technological advances for stimulation of synapses, the controversy around and meaning of dendritic spikes, and the importance of understanding temporal dynamics. The team then discusses how to better understand dendrites from a machine learning perspective.

Papers mentioned: 
'The Decade of the Dendritic NMDA Spike': https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5643072/
'Active Properties of Neocortical Pyramidal Neuron Dendrites': https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23841837/

Numenta is leading the new era of machine intelligence. Our deep experience in theoretical neuroscience research has led to tremendous discoveries on how the brain works. We have developed a cohesive theory, core software technology, and numerous software applications all based on principles of the neocortex. Our innovative work delivers breakthrough capabilities and demonstrates that a computing approach based on biological learning principles can do things that today’s programmed computers cannot do.
