Mathematical Systems
- Systemic influences with various pieces
- Hopfield Networks
Mouse Video Games
Derivatives are essentially a high pass filter
Methods of neuro imaging
- calcium channel florescence
- Electrode measurements
- Optogenetics
primary methods
- analyzing monke with neuro-imaging methods above
- creating in silico models based on those responses, in a large systems of differential equations
- play with those equations to figure possible novel responses
- try them on monke
Elimination Matricies
Last edited: August 8, 2025For matrix \(A\), we want to make a series of matrix \(M\) which will zero columns out. This is a algorithms approach for doing this, which is also applied columnwise.


nicely, we can undo our operations

and you can compose them by subtracting together

*THIS IS ONLY TRUE when we are applying in the right ordering, row \(1\) to row \(2\), etc.
pivoting

works pattern-action rules by rephrasing user’s questions
“You hate me” => “what makes you think I hate you”
Rogerian psycotherapy: assume no real-world knowledge; simply draws out patient’s statements
I need X => what would it mean to you if you got X.

uses regex
capture specific adjectives, “all”, “always”, etc. and responds accordingly

patterns are organized by keywords: a keyword has a pattern and a list of transforms:
