[http://www.irp.oist.jp/ocnc/2008/bell07.pdf Towards a cross-level theory of neural 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).


 
There are new results on time series analysis coming :)
In the process, I am creating dynamic signal processing algorithms with new properties.
I hope they will be powerful.
 
 
I know this requires some explanation. I need to completely revamp my web-presence, and I hope to do so soon,
along with papers explaining this idea.
My old page, at the Salk Institute, is quite out-of-date, but contains some useful material.
