    The document discusses several reasons to study biology, including understanding how information is stored and retrieved in the brain, how the brain interprets spike-train information, what causes dreams and altered mind states. It also discusses using deep learning networks to study the visual system and decode seen and imagined objects from fMRI patterns, as well as some interesting brain projects like the Green Brain Project and Blue Brain Project.

    Study of the Brain to Understand Cognition

    QUESTIONS
    1. How is information stored and
    retrieved by the brain?
    2. How does the brain interpret
    information that is essentially a
    spike-train?
    3. What are dreams,
    hallucinations, altered mind

    • Prediction is limited to
    training examples
    • Using the machine vision
    principle that an object
    category is represented by a
    set of features rendered
    invariant
    • Visual features, including
    those derived from a deep
