How to Improve at Learning Using Neuroscience & AI | Dr. Terry Sejnowski

About this video

Dr. Terry Sejnowski explains how computational neuroscience and artificial intelligence can clarify how the brain works, including a single learning rule related to dopamine that he says governs motivation across domains and explains both drive and its absence. He discusses tools for learning better based on your particular learning style and information-foraging approach, including a zero-cost online learning portal developed with colleagues. Sejnowski describes mitochondria as the cell’s power plant supplying ATP, says they become fewer and less efficient with age and can be harmed by some drugs taken for illness, and argues exercise is the best and cheapest way to replenish energy, benefiting the heart, brain, immune system and every organ system. The conversation also touches on Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease.
