To unify ideas from probabilistic unsupervised machine learning

with the cross-level information flows that occur in the biological hierarchy.
There are 3 steps to uniting physics, biology and machine learning:
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).


(1) Solve the time series analysis problem
(2) Solve the sensory-motor problem
(3) Solve the Levels problem


In the process, I am creating dynamic signal processing algorithms with new properties.
The clues to (2) and (3) lie in (1).
I hope they will be powerful.
I am working on (1) and I think I've nearly got it.
 
 
I know this requires some explanation. I need to completely revamp my web-presence, and I hope to do so soon,

It's 2010.

Here's my Salk web-page from way back.

Here's an 30 minute talk about Levels in Neuroscience by me. Here's a longer one one on the same topic.

What am I doing? If you watch either of these you will see. There are 3 steps to uniting physics, biology and machine learning:

(1) Solve the time series analysis problem (2) Solve the sensory-motor problem (3) Solve the Levels problem

The clues to (2) and (3) lie in (1). I am working on (1) and I think I've nearly got it.
