Bonne nouvelle! Je suis désormais professeur adjoint au Département de mathématiques et informatique du Collège militaire royal du Canada à Kingston!
Au fil des ans, plusieurs étudiants intéressés aux neurosciences computationnelles m’ont contacté via mon blogue pour me poser des questions sur les différents parcours académiques disponibles à Montréal. Plusieurs chercheurs m’ont aussi contacté à propos […]

There is a very interesting Guest Post on Daniel Lemire’s blog about how to maximize your impact as a researcher.

Rivest, Bengio & Kalaska
Learning timing in reinforcement learning model of dopamine responses in appetitive fixed-delay classical conditioning.
The temporal difference (TD) learning algorithm is now a common choice when modeling dopaminergic neuron activity in learning. When time is an important component of the experiment however, most models use timing elements, such as delay lines, that are […]

New paper!

My most recent paper just appeared on-line:
Rivest, Kalaska, & Bengio (2009) Alternative time representation in dopamine models. Journal of Computational Neuroscience. doi: 10.1007/s10827-009-0191-1

Abstract: (c) Springer Science + Business Media, LLC 2009
Dopaminergic neuron activity has been modeled during learning and appetitive behavior, most commonly […]
