The technique described here -- that of the CNiFERs is impressive. But the hype is way over the top.
> When many [neurons] fire together, they form a thought.
Is that a definition, an observation, a hypothesis or a result?
- aperrien 10y agoI think that depends on where you believe thoughts originate. If they originate within the brain, the ensemble firing together (in some sort of organized manner) is a thought. If you believe that they don't originate from within the brain, then the answer is unclear. More of a philosophy problem at that point, I think.
