Despite the recent success of deep learning in artificial intelligence, the lack of biological plausibility and labeled data in natural learning still poses a challenge in understanding biological learning. At the other extreme lies Hebbian learning, the simplest local and unsupervised one, yet considered to be computationally less efficient. In this talk, I would introduce a novel method to infer the form of Hebbian learning from in vivo data. Applying the method to the data obtained from the monkey inferior temporal cortex for the recognition task indicates how Hebbian learning changes the dynamic properties of the circuits and may promote brain oscillation. Notably, recent electrophysiological data observed in rodent V1 showed that the effect of visual experience on direction selectivity was similar to that observed in monkey data and provided strong validation of asymmetric changes of feedforward and recurrent synaptic strengths inferred from monkey data. This may suggest a general learning principle underlying the same computation, such as familiarity detection across different features represented in different brain regions.
