Brain Inspired BI 176 David Poeppel Returns
6 snips
Oct 14, 2023 David Poeppel, researcher studying auditory cognition, speech perception, language, and music at NYU, returns to discuss the mysteries of memory storage, the language of thought hypothesis, and the pace of scientific progress in understanding the brain. They explore the challenges of studying memory, the implementation requirements for language processing, and the potential combination of symbolic computation and dynamics in the brain. They also delve into the downside of unprincipled data mining and the re-emergence of the language of thought hypothesis in cognitive organization.
