Reverse 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
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 کاملStem Cell Organoid Engineering
Organoid systems leverage the self-organizing properties of stem cells to create diverse multicellular tissue proxies. Most organoid models only represent single or partial components of a tissue, and it is often difficult to control the cell type, organization, and cell-cell/cell-matrix interactions within these systems. Herein, we discuss basic approaches to generate stem cell-based organoids...
متن کاملReverse 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 کاملSocial life, evolution of intelligence, behaviour and human brain size
Social life is one of the most critical factors of the evolution of the behavior of non-human primates and humans. Several factors, such as an increase in brain size, adaptive modules, and grooming, are related to the complexities of social groups. Although some scientists have mentioned foraging as a rival hypothesis for the evolution of behavior, in this research, we tried to investigate the ...
