今更ながら HBP Neurorobotics Blog の存在に気づく。何だか色々な情報が載ってそうなので定期的にチェックしよう。

snn_object_recognition というプロジェクトがあって面白そうなんだけど、残念ながら10か月前から動きがなさそうだ。

昨日から引き続いて Reinforcement Learning in a Neurally Controlled Robot Using Dopamine Modulated STDP という論文を読んでいる。直近自分が深掘りしていきたい方向性。

その中で参照されていた Synaptic tagging という話も面白い。以下がオリジナルの論文。

Making memories last: the synaptic tagging and capture hypothesis

最近、参考文献を辿ってネイチャーの論文をチラ見する機会がとても増えていて、段々自分もニューロ色が強くなってきたか？と感じる。全くの素人だったけど、まぁなんとか地道に勉強勉強。

今日は担当している授業の中間試験だったので試験監督を。そして、終わった後は引き続き課題の採点。

A Worm's Mind in a Lego Body

Artificial intelligence researchers have started looking to some of the simplest creatures for inspiration. Cyborgs who think like humans are still just a sci-fi dream, but scientists have had success recreating a less complicated brain. They've already created LEGO robot with the artificial mind of a worm.

The OpenWorm project (which kind of sounds like somewhat like a band of mischievous 10-year-olds with a pocketknife would call themselves, but OK) has mapped the brain of the tiny nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans), known both for being squirmy and only having 302 neurons. http://www.i-programmer.info/news/105-artificial-intelligence/7985-a-worms-mind-in-a-lego-body.html
