This is going to be big. Lyrics: Eshel Ben-Jacob and Itay Baruchi Were working in a laboratory out in Tel Aviv They were trying to accomplish what no one else could do And that is teach a neural network something new. A neural network is some brain cells, attached to a plate The neurons all connect ‘cause that’s their natural state They fire in a pattern, electrically It’s almost like there’s neural choreography. The neurons have their first memory, a very simple one Could we record another? It had never been done Eshel and Itay thought the challenge might be fun And so this experiment begun. There are two kinds of neurons inside of every brain If they didn’t work together, well, you’d probably be insane The excitatory neurons, they always want to act The inhibitory neurons say, “hey man, stop that.” Two methods of training that work for sure Is to reward a good deed and punish bad behavior Experimenters had tried both methods and failed The common wisdom was to no avail.
