  1. Cybernetics 2.0

I became deeply interested in biological neural networks during my time at Stanford. I stumbled upon active research on the topic being performed by Dr. Bernard Widrow during his course on adaptive signal processing. For three years after the course, I partnered with him to develop neural networks with local learning rules inspired by homeostatic regulation of firing rate. The algorithms extended to other homeostatic systems such as thermoregulation, blood pressure, and even plant growth. Dr. Widrow came up with his ideas and we discussed them in great depth at his residence or the faculty club. I assisted him by running computer simulations, performing literature reviews, and ultimately transcribing his hand-written words into a book published by Springer.
