Reverse engineering the cognitive brain.
One of the greatest aspirations of the human mind has been to realize machines that surpass its cognitive intelligence. The rapid expansion in computing power, about to exceed the equivalent of the human brain, has yet to produce such a machine. The article by Neftci et al. in PNAS (1) offers a refreshing and humbling reminder that the brain’s cognition does not arise from exacting digital prec...
متن کاملReverse Engineering the Brain
Reverse engineering the brain will require a deep understanding of how information is represented and how computation is performed in the brain. What are the functional operations? What are the knowledge data structures? How are messages encoded? How are relationships established and broken? How are images processed? How does the brain transform signals into symbols? How does the brain generate...
متن کاملReverse engineering the human brain
Advances in the physical sciences often foster advances in the biological sciences. In this paper I deal with just one of those many contributions and describe a trail that leads from Faraday’s discovery of electromagnetic induction to a technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), which can be used to temporarily prevent the brain from carrying out some of its normal functions. Th...
متن کاملReverse Engineering the Brain with Eureqa
A detailed characterization of the human brain, its structural and functional underpinnings, remains on the frontier of modern science. Neurological research is important not only for its intrinsic interest, but for the purpose of better understanding (diagnosing and treating) neurological disorder as well. Happily, along with many other fields, neuroscience is entering an era of “Big Data” in ...
متن کاملReverse Engineering the Brain: Improving Artificial Intelligence
The human mind is a mysterious and exciting element of the body. The brain makes millions of decisions every day and though we may take this for granted, it is no simple task. We understand very little about how the brain actually functions, even after many years of intensive study. Thinking of how incredible the human mind is as a whole, imagine if we could pick apart each individual piece of ...
