Uses his brain to understand brains. Is that possible? Neuroscience: http://www.systemsneurophysiologylab.manchester.ac.uk
Your Cortex Contains 17 Billion Computers
Neural networks of neural networks
Brains receive input from the outside world, their neurons do
something to that input, and create an output. That output
may be a thought (I want curry for dinner); it may be an action
(make curry); it may be a change in mood (yay curry!).
Whatever the output, that “something” is a transformation of
some form of input (a menu) to output (“chicken dansak, please”).
And if we think of a brain as a device that transforms inputs to
outputs then, inexorably, the computer becomes our analogy of
choice.
