I am an undergrad student working with Chris Eliasmith to construct
and implement neurologically plausible models of Bayesian inference.
Experiments have shown that people approximate perfect Bayesian
estimators when performing certain perceptual tasks. But past models
have made unrealistic assumptions (such as purely Gaussian
statistics), have failed to account for the formulation of statistical
priors, or have lacked neurological plausibility. Using the NEF and a hierarchical
approach that estimates priors
recursively (known as 'empirical bayes') we are building a model that
should be free of these limitations.
