Cards in this deck (25)

  1. 1Which species has the biggest Brain to Body size ratio?Homo Sapiens Sapiens
  2. 2Why is our brain te biggest?Because evolution made Hominids evolve their brain faster
  3. 3What is meant by arborization of dendrites?The tree like structures that denrites have
  4. 4Does more neurons mean more intelligent?NO! an elephant has same amount as us, its the limbic system and the complexity of its structure that defines our intelligence
  5. 5Radial Unit HypothesisAbout the division an migration of neurons
  6. 6What is Synaptogenesis?The formation of synapses between neurons
  7. 7Synapse eliminationUSE IT OR LOSE IT
  8. 8When does myelination occur?The sensory & motor neurons first, then frontal & parietal
  9. 9What is brain plasticity?The ability of the brain to change throughout life
  10. 10When is plasticity useful?When learning or after an accident(if you lose vision then the visual part of brain can reorganise to serve haring or smelling, eg. blind people hear better)
  11. 11USE IT OR LOSE ITthis is a free point
  12. 12Lets break it down for geneticsk
  13. 13Chromosomes make me anIndividual
  14. 14A chromosome consists of :Genes
  15. 15A gene consists of a code of Nucleide Acids which are these:Adenine + Thymine
    Cytosine + Guanine
  16. 16But why dont we look exactly like our parents?Recombination of genes + Mutation
  17. 17Better genes will live on, how is this called?Survival of the fittest
  18. 18GenotypeHow the genes are combined
  19. 19PhenotypeHow the genes are exprssed(how you look)
  20. 20Pls learn GAYes sir
  21. 21Roulette wheel selectionWheel of reproduction is turned, fittest individual has highest chance, least fir lowest. This is all based on chance
  22. 22ElitistTake top individuals and make em fuck, lots of information loss, ordered by fitness.
  23. 23Tournament SelectionTake a tournament(k) individuals and choose the fittest from those, make em fuck. Although if k is to big its basically random
  24. 24Advantages of GA's• Widely applicable
    • Easy to implement
    • Easy to parallelize
  25. 25Cons to GA's• Same local minima problem as with back-prop, but GA are better
    suited to escape local minima
    • Lots of variation (eg. Selection, parameters)
    • Sometimes difficult to find right encoding, fitness
