Sci-Fi AI?
What is AI?
The science of making machines that:
Think like humans
Think rationally
Act like humans
Act rationally
Thinking Like Humans?
 The Cognitive Science approach:
 1960s ``cognitive revolution'': information-processing
psychology replaced prevailing orthodoxy of
behaviorism
 Scientific theories of internal activities of the brain
 What level of abstraction? “Knowledge'' or “circuits”?
 Cognitive science: Predicting and testing behavior of
human subjects (top-down)
 Cognitive neuroscience: Direct identification from
neurological data (bottom-up)
 Both approaches now distinct from AI
 Both share with AI the following characteristic:
 The available theories do not explain (or engender)
anything resembling human-level general intelligence}
 Hence, all three fields share one principal direction!

Computing in the Brain: Mirror Neuron in F5 (premotor cortex)
Approx 2 s:
Experimenter picks up food
Approx 4 s:
Monkey picks up food
Many human imaging studies showing activation of motor regions
(primary and secondary) during action perception.
Regions overlap with those engaged during action production.
Distributed frontal/parietal activation during viewing of
actions performed with mouth, hand, or foot.
All activations compared to rest baseline.
Mouth
(chewing, biting)
Hand
(grasping, pinching)
Foot
(kicking, jumping)
Buccino et al. 2001)
Observation of action activates premotor cortex in
topographic manner, consistent with motor
topography.
Foot Action
Hand Action
Mouth Action
a) no-object
b) w/ object
MEG (magnetoencephalography) study comparing pianists and nonpianists.
Pianists show activation in primary motor cortex when listening
to piano.
Activation is specific to fingers used to play the notes.
Colored region: MEG signal for pianists
minus non-pianists.
Significance of Mirror Neurons
 Action, Perception, Imagination, and
Understanding share a lot of the same
brain circuits.
 Question:
 How are these circuits learnt?
Models of Learning




Hebbian ~ coincidence
Reinforcement ~ delayed reward
Supervised ~ correction (perceptron, mlp)
Unsupervised-similarity
Long-term Potentiation (LTP)
Rapid and long-term increase in synaptic strength
resulting from the pairing of presynaptic activity with
postsynaptic depolarization
Synaptic Plasticity


Hebb’s Postulate: When an axon
of cell A... excites cell B and
repeatedly or persistently takes
part in firing it, some growth
process or metabolic change
takes place in one or both cells so
that A's efficiency as one of the
cells firing B is increased.
Slices of the hippocampus can be
removed and its CA1 neurons
studied in vitro with recording
electrodes. Rapid, intense
stimulation of presynaptic neurons
evokes action potentials in the
postsynaptic neuron. This is just
what we would expect from the
properties of synapses.
The Hebb rule is found with long term
potentiation (LTP) in the hippocampus

Conditioning
Ivan Pavlov
= Conditional stimulus
= Unconditional stimulus
Response = Unconditional response (reflex);
conditional response (reflex)
Dopamine Levels track RL signals
Unpredicted reward
(unlearned/no stimulus)
Predicted reward
(learned task)
Omitted reward
(probe trial)
(Montague et al. 1996)
Current Hypothesis
Phasic dopamine encodes a reward prediction error
 Evidence
 Monkey single cell recordings
 Human fMRI studies
 Current Research
 Better information processing model
 Other reward/punishment circuits including Amygdala (for visual
perception)
 Overall circuit (PFC-Basal Ganglia interaction)
Neural Basis of Intelligence
 How does a system of neurons with
specific processes, connectivity, and
functions support the ability to think,
reason, and communicate?
