Can that be boiled down to something like "the brain is optimised for maximum performance without breaking down."
Always being just bellow the activation threshold.
- pas 7y agoI think it's better phrased as that it has active controller feedback loops. If there is room for more specialization, if it can get away with less energy used, less neurons, or some other kind of optimization, then it seems it will do that. And there are loops that work against these to prevent breakdown, forgetting too much, slowing down too much, etc. Of course it's not really known yet what these control system are exactly. (At least I'm not aware we have good data and theories about this aspect of the brain.)
