Brain Learning During Sleep

The Boltzmann machine analogy turned out to be a really good insight into what's really going on during sleep. Neuroscientists and people who are doing computational models like me have made a tremendous amount of progress on understanding something about how experiences you have had during the day get integrated into your brain at night. We're not trying to duplicate the brain but rather take the principles from the brain and try to build up systems that have some of the capabilities of the brain, like vision, like speech recognition, like language processing.
