Week #5- The Brain Machine, Balt 318

The human brain is truly a magical thing.  All of the neurons in the brain make up the data that we know and the connections of these neurons make our thoughts.


Using the way that our brains works, when implemented in AI, has allowed for many advances in the technology.  Allowing these machines to learn on their own, in a similar way that humans do, while being able to connect and organize a lot more data then a human would be able.  

This is very important for science because using the way our brain works in order to understand abstract principles can be used towards the discovery of new principles.  

This abstract concept is the ability the understand the bigger picture without needing individual instincts. This allows the understanding of all instincts because the principle is understood.  

For example, 


These are all shoes.

but what is a shoe? and what makes something a shoe?

We all know what a shoe is without actually seeing others shoes, so that is an abstract principle we have.  We would know the purpose of a pair of shoes if we were to find them randomly.  

This can also be used with a math problem and knowing the formula.  


Without knowing the formula, you can figure an individual problem out, but it might be a lot harder.

Knowing the formula, you would be able to answer any question in the category.
