My interest in 2007 is:-

To unify ideas from probabilistic unsupervised machine learning
Here's my [http://www.snl.salk.edu/~tony Salk web-page] from way back.
with the cross-level information flows that occur in the biological hierarchy.
The idea is that macroscopic variables can use microscopic variables to
store information. You might not realise it but this sentence you are
reading is changing your gene expression (your genes heard it here first!)
I am demonstrating this concept with new learning algorithms, focusing
on synaptic learning phenomena such as spike timing-dependent plasticity (STDP),
and on systems of kinetic equations inspired by the processes that govern
the flow of information inside a cell (for example ion channel and enzyme kinetics).
