Project description
Biological brains exploit physics and biology to compute, and hence use less power than digital computers. In my research I want to use plasticity to build physical systems that can learn to compute like the brain does, try to identify the fundamental principles of the ways in which plasticity facilitates learning and find mechanisms to implement them in physical systems.
