Abstract
This project introduces a new computational framework towards building resilient, energy-efficient, and neuroscience-aligned artificial intelligence (AI) systems by drawing inspiration from biological nervous systems. Modern AI systems are powerful, but they depend on large datasets, extensive computing resources, and high energy consumption. Furthermore, current AI systems struggle to adapt to changing environments…
