Modelling the control of offline processing with reinforcement learning

NeurIPS 2025poster

Brains reorganise knowledge offline to improve future behaviour, with 'replay' involved in consolidating memories, abstracting patterns from experience, and simulating new scenarios. However, there are few models of how the brain might orchestrate these processes, and of when different types of repl…

Range, not Independence, Drives Modularity in Biologically Inspired Representations

ICLR 2025poster

Why do biological and artificial neurons sometimes modularise, each encoding a single meaningful variable, and sometimes entangle their representation of many variables? In this work, we develop a theory of when biologically inspired networks---those that are nonnegative and energy efficient---modul…
