In this course
Martin Lepage is a cognitive neuroscientist who collaborated with Endel Tulving on memory and consciousness, particularly investigating how the brain generates awareness of past events. His work with Tulving on "autonoetic awareness"—the capacity to consciously re-experience past events as new experiences in the present—provides the course with a neuroscientific foundation for understanding how memory operates as a recursive, generative process rather than simple retrieval. This framework becomes relevant for theorizing how machine learning systems might simulate or differ from human episodic memory and consciousness.
