Thalamocortical joint optimization tackles the cost-information trade-off of recurrent computation
neurovium · x · 2026-11-05
Context-dependent computation underpins biological intelligence but demands massive feedback and recurrent computation, creating a cost-information trade-off. The author points to their new work on how thalamocortical "joint" optimization shapes the computational landscape to manage this trade-off.
