This paper is the final part of the scientific discussion organised by the Journal Physics of Life Rviews about the simplicity revolution in neuroscience and AI. This discussion was initiated by the review paper The unreasonable effectiveness of small neural ensembles in high-dimensional brain. Phys Life Rev 2019, doi 10.1016/j.plrev.2018.09.005, arXiv:1809.07656. The topics of the discussion varied from the necessity to take into account the difference between the theoretical random distributions and extremely non-random real distributions and revise the common machine learning theory, to different forms of the curse of dimensionality and high-dimensional pitfalls in neuroscience. V. K{r{u}}rkov{a}, A. Tozzi and J.F. Peters, R. Quian Quiroga, P. Varona, R. Barrio, G. Kreiman, L. Fortuna, C. van Leeuwen, R. Quian Quiroga, and V. Kreinovich, A.N. Gorban, V.A. Makarov, and I.Y. Tyukin participated in the discussion. In this paper we analyse the symphony of opinions and the possible outcomes of the simplicity revolution for machine learning and neuroscience.

The deep neural nets of modern artificial intelligence (AI) have not achieved defining features of biological intelligence, including abstraction, causal learning, and energy-efficiency. While scaling to larger models has delivered performance improv ements for current applications, more brain-like capacities may demand new theories, models, and methods for designing artificial learning systems. Here, we argue that this opportunity to reassess insights from the brain should stimulate cooperation between AI research and theory-driven computational neuroscience (CN). To motivate a brain basis of neural computation, we present a dynamical view of intelligence from which we elaborate concepts of sparsity in network structure, temporal dynamics, and interactive learning. In particular, we suggest that temporal dynamics, as expressed through neural synchrony, nested oscillations, and flexible sequences, provide a rich computational layer for reading and updating hierarchical models distributed in long-term memory networks. Moreover, embracing agent-centered paradigms in AI and CN will accelerate our understanding of the complex dynamics and behaviors that build useful world models. A convergence of AI/CN theories and objectives will reveal dynamical principles of intelligence for brains and engineered learning systems. This article was inspired by our symposium on dynamical neuroscience and machine learning at the 6th Annual US/NIH BRAIN Initiative Investigators Meeting.
High-dimensional data and high-dimensional representations of reality are inherent features of modern Artificial Intelligence systems and applications of machine learning. The well-known phenomenon of the curse of dimensionality states: many problems become exponentially difficult in high dimensions. Recently, the other side of the coin, the blessing of dimensionality, has attracted much attention. It turns out that generic high-dimensional datasets exhibit fairly simple geometric properties. Thus, there is a fundamental tradeoff between complexity and simplicity in high dimensional spaces. Here we present a brief explanatory review of recent ideas, results and hypotheses about the blessing of dimensionality and related simplifying effects relevant to machine learning and neuroscience.
We describe a large-scale functional brain model that includes detailed, conductance-based, compartmental models of individual neurons. We call the model BioSpaun, to indicate the increased biological plausibility of these neurons, and because it is a direct extension of the Spaun model cite{Eliasmith2012b}. We demonstrate that including these detailed compartmental models does not adversely affect performance across a variety of tasks, including digit recognition, serial working memory, and counting. We then explore the effects of applying TTX, a sodium channel blocking drug, to the model. We characterize the behavioral changes that result from this molecular level intervention. We believe this is the first demonstration of a large-scale brain model that clearly links low-level molecular interventions and high-level behavior.
Multi-regional interaction among neuronal populations underlies the brains processing of rich sensory information in our daily lives. Recent neuroscience and neuroimaging studies have increasingly used naturalistic stimuli and experimental design to identify such realistic sensory computation in the brain. However, existing methods for cross-areal interaction analysis with dimensionality reduction, such as reduced-rank regression and canonical correlation analysis, have limited applicability and interpretability in naturalistic settings because they usually do not appropriately demix neural interactions into those associated with different types of task parameters or stimulus features (e.g., visual or audio). In this paper, we develop a new method for cross-areal interaction analysis that uses the rich task or stimulus parameters to reveal how and what types of information are shared by different neural populations. The proposed neural demixed shared component analysis combines existing dimensionality reduction methods with a practical neural network implementation of functional analysis of variance with latent variables, thereby efficiently demixing nonlinear effects of continuous and multimodal stimuli. We also propose a simplifying alternative under the assumptions of linear effects and unimodal stimuli. To demonstrate our methods, we analyzed two human neuroimaging datasets of participants watching naturalistic videos of movies and dance movements. The results demonstrate that our methods provide new insights into multi-regional interaction in the brain during naturalistic sensory inputs, which cannot be captured by conventional techniques.
Understanding how brain functions has been an intriguing topic for years. With the recent progress on collecting massive data and developing advanced technology, people have become interested in addressing the challenge of decoding brain wave data in to meaningful mind states, with many machine learning models and algorithms being revisited and developed, especially the ones that handle time series data because of the nature of brain waves. However, many of these time series models, like HMM with hidden state in discrete space or State Space Model with hidden state in continuous space, only work with one source of data and cannot handle different sources of information simultaneously. In this paper, we propose an extension of State Space Model to work with different sources of information together with its learning and inference algorithms. We apply this model to decode the mind state of students during lectures based on their brain waves and reach a significant better results compared to traditional methods.
