US 2014/0351182 A1 · Modifying Learning Capabilities of Learning Devices

Abstract

Various embodiments for modifying learning capabilities within a decentralized system of learning devices, a method including receiving, at a learning device, a signal from a nearby device, determining whether the received signal is a learning modifier signal based on data within the received signal, and modifying one or more of the learning capabilities in response to determining that the received signal is the learning modifier signal. The method may further include determining whether subsequent learning modifier signals are received, and resetting the modified one or more of the learning capabilities in response to determining that the subsequent learning modifier signals are not received. Modifying learning capabilities may include enabling or disabling a learning mode of the learning device and/or adjusting values of variables used to calculate trigger weights of reflexes. When subsequent learning modifier signals are not received, the learning device may reset modified learning capabilities.
