Context selectivity with dynamic availability enables lifelong continual learning “You never forget how to ride a bike”, – but how is that possible? The brain is able to learn complex skills, stop the practice for years, learn other…

🧠How can brains learn new tasks w/o forgetting old ones? Barry, Gerstner & Bellec propose #GateON, a neuro-inspired learning rule: neurons become context-selective & #plasticity can be frozen or unfrozen. Balances #memory & #flexibility, avoiding #CatastrophicForgetting in #AI models.
