AI can explore futures humans cannot test directly
“We were predicting the future. We were saying this is an alternative to traditional AI.”
at 1:26:30 - 1:39:01
AI can improve doctors when their expertise complements its data
“if you let the doctor use the AI, it boosts the doctor to 98”
at 1:42:41 - 2:23:23
Sejnowski is testing how brains perform transformer-like attention
“my pioneer proposal is to figure out how does the brain do self-attention?”
at 2:27:04 - 34:52
Ambien can boost sleep spindles but disrupt later memories
“you wake up in the morning you can remember twice as much from what you learned.”
at 37:51 - 18:59
Learning takes both instruction and hands-on practice
“when you're trying to solve a problem on your own, right, this is where you're really learning by trial and error”
at 24:45 - 1:30:51
Ketamine can temporarily produce psychosis-like symptoms
“It turns out that it binds to a form of receptor, a glutamate receptor called NMDA receptors, which are very important, by the way, for learning and memory.”
at 1:33:42 - 27:35
Brain activity during tasks spans traditional area boundaries
“there's more input coming from the motor system than from the eye.”
