Building machines that adapt and compute like brains
نویسندگان
چکیده
Building machines that learn and think like humans is essential not only for cognitive science, but also for computational neuroscience, whose ultimate goal is to understand how cognition is implemented in biological brains. A new cognitive computational neuroscience should build cognitive-level and neural-level models, understand their relationships, and test both types of models with both brain and behavioral data.

Comparing EEG/ERP-Like and fMRI-Like Techniques for Reading Machine Thoughts
fMRI and ERP/EEG are two different sources for scanning the brain for building mind state decoders. fMRI produces accurate images but it is expensive and cumbersome. ERP/EEG is cheaper and potentially wearable but it gives more coarse-grain data. Recently the metaphor between machines and brains has been introduced in the context of mind state decoders: the “readers for machines’ thoughts”. Thi...
متن کاملNeural Networks and Neuroscience-Inspired Computer Vision
Brains are, at a fundamental level, biological computing machines. They transform a torrent of complex and ambiguous sensory information into coherent thought and action, allowing an organism to perceive and model its environment, synthesize and make decisions from disparate streams of information, and adapt to a changing environment. Against this backdrop, it is perhaps not surprising that com...

متن کاملThe Artilect War: Cosmists vs. Terrans. A Bitter Controversy Concerning Whether Humanity Should Build Godlike Massively Intelligent Machines
This paper claims that the “species dominance” issue will dominate our global politics later this century. Humanity will be bitterly divided over the question whether to build godlike, massively intelligent machines, called “artilects” (artificial intellects) which with 21 century technologies will have mental capacities trillions of trillions of times above the human level. Humanity will split...
متن کاملHigher Level Intelligence in Machines
here has been a large number of studies in neurological sciences on how human brain works, especially in reading and parallel information processing. So I think this statement is really sweeping. Perhaps it is better to knowledge the abilities of human brains and to comment on the limitations of the human brain. The book “Adapt” by Tim Hartford advocates micro-step changes. An important aspect ...
