The quest for the cortical algorithm
Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany
Abstract
The cortical algorithm hypothesis states that there is one common computational framework to solve diverse cognitive problems such as vision, voice recognition and motion control. In my talk, I propose a strategy to guide the search for this algorithm and I present a few ideas on how some of its components might look like. I'll explain why a highly interdisciplinary approach is needed from neuroscience, computer science, mathematics and physics to make further progress in this important question.
