Last Monday, I gave a talk at Queen’s. Thanks to people from the Physiology department and the CNS for inviting me. The talk was about Neural Models of Temporal Representations and Reinforcement Learning. Feel free to ask for my slides.

Why having a brain theory?

Here’s an interesting talk by Jeff Hawkings:

I have been invited to the reinforcement learning workshop whose theme was “Sculpting Representation for Reinforcement Learning”. The workshop was great and I thank the organizers (Rich Sutton, Doina Precup & Eliot Ludvig) for their invitation. You can find my slides on the workshop website.

Aging Brain

The AssociatesDegree.com has published a post about the Aging Brain. Thanks Jesse for pointing it out.

Methods, Neurons, Networks and Behaviors

June 13 - July 2, 2010. Okinawa, Japan

http://www.irp.oist.jp/ocnc/2010

The aim of the Okinawa Computational Neuroscience Course is to provide opportunities for young researchers with theoretical backgrounds to learn the latest advances in neuroscience, and for those with experimental backgrounds to have hands-on experience in computational modeling.
We invite graduate students and postgraduate researchers […]

FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT

We are pleased to announce the 4th summer School in Computational Neuroscience, which will be held from Sunday June 13, 2010 until Friday June 25, 2010 inclusively. It is organized by the Center for Neural Dynamics at the University of Ottawa. This highly pedagogical course is directed at graduate students and postdoctoral […]

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

Feel free to leave comments or questions here or to e-mail them to me.
Abstract: (c) Springer Science + Business Media, LLC 2009
Dopaminergic neuron activity has been modeled during learning and appetitive behavior, most commonly […]

I was invited for the third time (see last year post) as Guest Lecturer for the Cognitive Science course at McGill University this week. Here the material from the lecture, including PowerPointSlides, PDFSlides. The presentation was build around (Montague, Hyman, & Cohen, 2004). Thanks to professor Thomas Shultz and the great audience. Extra questions can […]
