Wouldnt make more sense to try to describe the brain in computational science terms rather than algebraic topology?

- idclip 6y agoDont we already attempt that as AI and NNs? Why not give math a chance too?
- tsimionescu 6y agoNNs, other than being vaguely inspired by it, have nothing to do with the brain or neurons. AI as it stands today also has essentially completely abandoned any idea it may have once had of understanding any aspect of the human brain or cognition, unfortunately. Instead, NNs and AI are entirely focused on the external world and trying to model it for strictly practical purposes (trying to predict aspects of it, in general).
- DennisP 6y agoFiguring out patterns in the way neurons communicate with each other seems pretty sensible. Maybe it can help us figure out what algorithm the brain is actually running.
