…e live in a black box. We experience the world through our senses, seeing with our eyes and feeling with our hands. The brain never directly experiences anything; it only infers the likelihood of ae et ~ Scene from The Miracle Worker. Helen Keller pictured at the moment she un...

…ace in unremarkable, well-studied physical circumstances (1.e., the materials, temperatures, and pressures inside human brains) yet which has somehow managed for many decades to elude determined investigators armed with sophisticated instruments. Such a discovery would be. . . as...

…ch case computers and humans should be easy to tell apart: humans are the funny ones. I am not saying you can't build a brain; our brains are physical devices, after all. I just believe a computer or a mechanistic machine, cannot think like a human being. I like the Searle argum...

…s look like and how they interact. My own original ideas concern a few parts of the emerging understanding of what the brain does. The "request-confirmation networks" that I have introduced at a NIPS workshop in last the December are an attempt at modeling how the higher layers...

… individuals are drunk than sober. Alcohol, as we all know, lowers our inhibitions, but also lowers glucose in both the brain and body. Though scientists such as Baumeister and DeWall have not yet worked out in detail how glucose is used or replenished in the context of self-cont...

…ons governing the motion of the atoms such that at some point — in 1995 to be exact — they all line up in Andrew Wiles’ brain to direct his fingers to type out the proof. In this case, the Universe has solved a mathematical puzzle because it was specifically set up to do so from...

…each Boulevard or out in the Village of Royal Palm Beach? V: I so honestly don’t remember. I’ve been trying to rack my brain because the FBI was asking the same thing and were trying to find it, but yeah, [’m Not sur_. I didn’t get to spend as much time in it, I was only there...

…like those the Manhattan Project researchers had followed. As Wiener memorably put it, “There is no Maginot Line of the brain.” To drive this point home, Wiener borrowed Shannon’s fresh ideas about information theory. In 1948, Shannon, a mathematician and engineer working at Bel...

… What seems like the powerful radar of insects in the dark, with blood-seeking intelligence inexplicable for such tiny brains, is actually just a sensitive nose with almost no intelligence at all. Mosquitoes are closer to plants that follow the sun than to guided missiles. Yet b...

… memory as more distinct than this, and there is evidence for significant functional and anatomical distinctness in the brain in some cases. So for the purpose of the integrative diagram, it seemed best to leave working and long-term memory subcomponents as parallel but distingui...

…owning engineering achievements of the 20th century. In particular, Wiener’s applications of cybernetic concepts to the brain and to computerized perception are the direct precursors of today’s neural-network-based deep-learning circuits, and of artificial intelligence itself. Bu...
