Neuron is the hardware. We have no idea how the software on it works. The way we model neural networks might be a very different from the operating system of the brain. It's like saying we mapped the x86 chip so we should be able to to simulate all it can do without reverse engineering the software.

- nyrulez 8y agoDirectly or indirectly connected isn't my point. I was referring to the large amount of electrical activity in the brain and we don't really understand what it actually encodes. Unless we reverse engineer it (which is insanely hard), it's hard to know what's "running" on the hardware. Or if we can perfectly replicate the brain using our model of deep learning. I'm a skeptic but that would prove it too.
