Context selectivity with dynamic availability enables lifelong continual learning

Wulfram Gerstner, Guillaume Emmanuel Fernand Bellec, Martin Louis Lucien Rémy Barry

“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 skills in between, and still retrieve the original knowledge when necessary. The mechanisms of this capab ...
