I argue that the relation between brain and computer should be understood as one of analogy, and consider the implications of this interpretation for notions of multiple realisation. I suggest some limitations of our understanding of the brain and cognition that may stem from the radical abstraction...
In this review essay, we give a detailed synopsis of the twelve contributions which are collected in a Special Issue in Frontiers Ecology and Evolution, based on the research topic "Current Thoughts on the Brain-Computer Analogy—All Metaphors Are Wrong, But Some Are Useful." The synopsis is ...
The computer analogy has frequently been invoked to cast doubt on both these claims. Looking at the distinction between hardware and software illustrates the point that just as software problems are distinct from hardware problems and the existence of one does not imply the existence of the other,...
The volume covers the creation of computer models of neural networks, and their use in the study of neural function, of cognition, memory and vision. The results and future directions explored here will have an important bearing on research into brain function, physiology, psychology, biophysics ...
This article summarizes Robert Epstein’s critique of the “computer metaphor” for the brain. I agree that the current breed of electronic devices we call “computers” is a poor analogy for the brain, which seems to work in entirely different ways. But i think he goes too far when he ...
Computers have far to go to match human strengths, and our estimates will depend on analogy and extrapolation. Fortunately, these are grounded in the first bit of the journey, now behind us. Thirty years of computer vision reveals that 1 MIPS can extract simple features from real-time imagery...
brain–computer analogy; algorithmic explainability; incommensurable algorithmic solutions; black-box1. Introduction The analogy between brain and computer has always been a driving force in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI), as a source of inspiration for the design of any algorithm ...
Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) are systems that allow communication between the brain and various machines. They work in three main steps: collecting brain signals, interpreting them and outputting commands to a connected machine according to the brain signal received. BCI can be applied to a vari...
DATA, COMPUTERS AND THE HUMAN BRAIN The analogy between computers and the human brain is analyzed with simple examples and easy calculations. Its suitability as a school topic is considered a... CE Agnes 被引量: 0发表: 0年 The Age of Spiritual Machines: When Computers Exceed Human Intelligenc...
does not tell us anything about the computer’s intelligence or ability. We could easily move the location of the chip.”If the movement of the chip does not affect the intelligence of the computer, that means it does not matter where it is located. By this analogy, he explains the human...
