Weak artificial intelligence
Weak artificial intelligence, also known as narrow AI, refers to AI systems that are designed and trained to perform specific tasks or solve particular problems. Unlike strong AI, which aims to replicate human cognitive abilities and general reasoning across a wide range of situations, weak AI operates within a limited domain and does not possess consciousness, self-awareness, or genuine understanding.
Wei Ji Ma
Wei Ji Ma is a prominent figure in the field of cognitive neuroscience, particularly known for his work on decision-making and perception. As a researcher and educator, he focuses on how perception and cognition interact, especially in the context of decision-making under uncertainty. His work often employs experimental methods, including behavioral studies and neuroimaging techniques, to explore these themes. In addition to his research, Wei Ji Ma is involved in teaching and mentoring students in cognitive neuroscience and related fields.
Wilson–Cowan model
The Wilson–Cowan model is a mathematical framework used to describe the dynamics of neural populations in the brain. Developed by the neuroscientists Hugh R. Wilson and Jack D. Cowan in the 1970s, this model provides insights into the interaction between excitatory and inhibitory neuronal populations.
Wulfram Gerstner
Wulfram Gerstner is a researcher known for his contributions to the fields of computational neuroscience and neuroinformatics. His work primarily involves modeling and simulating neural dynamics and investigating how neural circuits process information. Gerstner's research often focuses on how neurons communicate and the implications of these interactions for understanding brain functions and cognitive processes.
