ABSTRACT
Cortical neurons emit seemingly erratic trains of action potentials or “spikes,” and neural network dynamics emerge from the coordinated spiking activity within neural circuits. These rich dynamics manifest themselves in a variety of patterns, which emerge spontaneously or in response to incoming activity produced by sensory inputs. In this Review, we focus on neural dynamics that is best understood as a sequence of repeated activations of a number of discrete hidden states. These transiently occupied states are termed “metastable” and have been linked to important sensory and cognitive functions. In the rodent gustatory cortex, for instance, metastable dynamics have been associated with stimulus coding, with states of expectation, and with decision making. In frontal, parietal, and motor areas of macaques, metastable activity has been related to behavioral performance, choice behavior, task difficulty, and attention. In this article, we review the experimental evidence for neural metastable dynamics together with theoretical approaches to the study of metastable activity in neural circuits. These approaches include (i) a theoretical framework based on non-equilibrium statistical physics for network dynamics; (ii) statistical approaches to extract information about metastable states from a variety of neural signals; and (iii) recent neural network approaches, informed by experimental results, to model the emergence of metastable dynamics. By discussing these topics, we aim to provide a cohesive view of how transitions between different states of activity may provide the neural underpinnings for essential functions such as perception, memory, expectation, or decision making, and more generally, how the study of metastable neural activity may advance our understanding of neural circuit function in health and disease.
It might be useful to newer investors to understand the Brainchip roadmap as far as technology advancement is concerned.
AKD1000 the first in the series is despite running on virtually no power and being the only standalone chip in the world capable of one shot, few shot and incremental learning as well as being able to process all five senses as well as radar, Lidar and Ultrasound is likely to be seen as unimpressive when AKD2000 incorporating LSTM is released most likely end of this year.
Why will AKD2000 be seen in this light? Well that is because what it will be capable of has been benchmarked by none other than Elon Musk. In an interview Elon Musk spoke to the problem of having compute capable of extrapolating that a plastic bag blowing across the road ahead does not require emergency braking or avoidance action. The plastic bag is a symbol of the present problem.
The ability of compute to extrapolate and decide a vast range of similar problems like the plastic bag or a cricket ball rolling onto the roadway from between parked cars means it could be followed by a child compared with a cricket ball rolling onto the roadway in other circumstances is a holy grail of developers of autonomous robots such as AV’s.
Peter van der Made has spoken to the intention that AKD2000 with LSTM will resolve this compute issue.
Coincidentally, though some thought not, Peter van der Made actually spoke of the plastic bag problem being solved by AKD2000.
This massive achievement however will be dwarfed by the AKD3000/4000/5000 series whichever one it is that incorporates the cortical column.
In May last year Brainchip announced that Emeritus Professor Alan Harvey was joining the Brainchip Scientific Advisory Board. Professor Harvey has studied and published on the brain and cortical columns for many years.
His appointment came a little more than a month after Peter van der Made stated he and his team had a working cortical column on the bench at the Brainchip Perth Research Centre.
When Brainchip announces the generation of AKIDA technology chip that is using their cortical column capable of all the current technology features plus ‘perception, memory, expectation or decision making’ it will be a day that will be marked down in history as the start of a new technology age.
Rob Telson is correct to say Brainchip is only just getting started, we are at the tip of the iceberg and these are exciting times.
Brainchip is on a trajectory to success that if achieved will be unlike anything ever seen before in the commercial and scientific world.
