I don't honestly feel like we know how we think at all. I do think that statistics is a pretty good bet for the "math of learning" in that it's a sensible way to track how information flows through a model. Furthermore, the combinatorial problems involved need to be tackled just the same by humans so we can maybe try to say that we're studying similar phenomena as the workings of the brain. Of course, the implementations we build will always be vastly different from their appearance in the brain since the architectures are so extraordinarily different!
