Conference Paper 2 “Innovative types and abilities of neural networks based on associative mechanisms and a new associative model of neurons” Main IdeaA new kind of neural networks, called as-neuronsThe structure is automatically constructed and parameters are automatically computed on the basis of plastic mechanisms Allows to quickly create associations and establish weighted connections between neural representations of data , their classes, and sequences Automatically interconnect representing similar or sequential data 3

Conference Review Conference and SessionsDuring registration, they lost my name tag at first, but made a new one for me on the same day There were only few people in the audienceDue to it being the last day The chair was a little disorganized with time Provided two thick books containing accepted papers BanquetBanquet was very lively Very good social environment P eople were very willing to mingle with other researchers, exchange contact information, and engage in conversations about research and non-research topics There were a lot of Polish people in the conferenceBut I was able to meet a lot of people from other countries, too (due to high number of attendees), at the banquet and during the succeeding days 4

Miscellaneous: Berlin Technical Trip Visited a friend working at the Technological University of Berlin (TUP)Virtual Reality and Human Psychology Virtual reality goggles create an environment that induces emotions (e.g., standing on top of a high-rise building) EEG and Object cognition 8

Miscellaneous: Berlin Technical Trip CommentsVery large experiment room providedLarge room approximately has 27 cameras to detect human movements (360 degrees) Uses high-performance laptop (goal is to make EEG mobile) 9
