Grid cells exist in the entorhinal cortex (EC) and are known to fire for spatial navigation on a hexagrid structure. Grid cells along with the other cells in the EC are implicated as a key component that allows for generalization and conceptual maps in the human brain. Recently I was reading “A Framework for Intelligence… Continue reading Do grid like cells appear in the neocortex?

Grid cell research areas
Grid cells are a potential path to AGI. Some areas I am researching: what grid cell like representations might look like in the neocortex grid cells as eigenvectors of the successor representation grid cells as inferred global task structure that are factorized how numenta envisions grid cells in the neocortex allocentric and egocentric views with… Continue reading Grid cell research areas
The human mind is an autonomous interlinked model building database of the world
My definition of intelligence has become refined over time. In my article about the the human mind being a simulation engine, I already wrote out some of the points I am going to make, but my thinking has on the topic has become more clear. The human mind is composed of tens of thousands of… Continue reading The human mind is an autonomous interlinked model building database of the world
Ideas on how I could help researchers
Suggest other people they could collaborate with and why Suggest refinements for their research Suggest areas that are not clear in their writing Suggest areas they can improve Suggest other directions and refinements to explore on their ideas Help collect more data Suggest related papers to look into Suggest ideas to explore for research Give… Continue reading Ideas on how I could help researchers
AGI questions
Having big questions on your mind is important. Here are my AGI questions: How can a computer represent a concept from “multiple points of view“? How could a computer represent compositionality? How could a computer represent casualty? How could a computer have a grounded/embodied representation? How could a computer represent concepts? What is the core… Continue reading AGI questions
Abstract Structure Primitives
It is a fact that there are specific neurons in the retina that take in the raw input from the eye and detect specific features such as red, blue, lines,edges, and more. These features (or objects) are sent further up in the processing center of the mind to form more complex objects like buckets, cars,… Continue reading Abstract Structure Primitives
Minimal concepts needed to encode human language in a computer
I propose that there exists a minimal set of concepts that can be used to describe and encode almost all meaning of human language. From this base set of concept primitives, complex conjoined concepts can be created due to compositionality and abstract structures. One cannot learn complex concepts like quantum mechanics, calculus, or homework without… Continue reading Minimal concepts needed to encode human language in a computer
Grid Cells: The next building block in Artificial Intelligence research?
Current Machine Learning research has made huge progress in the past 20 years thanks to Deep Learning. We have computers we can talk to, powerful image recognition, and (almost) self-driving cars. Almost of these technologies are built on artificial neural networks , which in turn use perceptrons, a very simplified model of neurons. What we… Continue reading Grid Cells: The next building block in Artificial Intelligence research?
Neuron Cell types by function in the Entorhinal Cortex Hippocampus system
Here we collect the different types of cells in the human entorhinal cortex (EC) hippocampus system organized by their known functionality. Place Cells – In the hippocampus, they usually fire to a single location in space. Grid Cells Border Ownership cells Head direction Cells – They fire when the head of an organism is facing… Continue reading Neuron Cell types by function in the Entorhinal Cortex Hippocampus system
Comparing random concepts together
Can we compare any random concepts? Let’s try doing it with two objects. Car Pencil moves (with human intervention) doesn’t move fast slow large small dangerous in multiple ways relatively safe object boxy long large and heavy skinny sort of portable portable solid and stable easily broken mostly metal non-metals How are they similar: man… Continue reading Comparing random concepts together
