Neuroscience of flexible cognition 灵活认知的神经科学
Primates like humans and monkeys adapt to new situations quickly. The secret is learning generalizable rules from a small number of samples. A monkey can learn to rinse gritty sweet potato by observing another individual. A person can learn to play a new game in a few tries, unlike AI programs. How does the brain implement this cognitive flexibility? We still lack a mechanistic account. My long-term vision is to explain how neural circuits generate flexible behavior by observing, manipulating, and recreating computational elements in the primate brain. 人类和猴子等灵长类能够快速适应新情况,关键在于从少量样本中学习可泛化的规则。猴子可以通过观察同伴学会清洗沾砂的甜薯;人类也能在短时间尝试后掌握新游戏,而这对 AI 程序仍很困难。大脑如何实现这种灵活认知?我们缺乏一个机制层面的解释。我的长期愿景是通过在灵长类大脑中观察、操控并重建其计算要素,来解释神经回路如何产生灵活行为。
