A Variational Latent Equilibrium for Learning in Cortex

This paper proposes a biologically plausible, local learning framework for time-continuous neuronal networks that approximates backpropagation through time by deriving real-time error dynamics from a prospective energy function, thereby unifying and extending the Generalized Latent Equilibrium model to enable spatiotemporal credit assignment consistent with brain circuitry.
