>>There is no motivation for a connection between artificial and biological computational networks. I would disagree, and say that future ANN research has high motivation to become as powerful and complex as BNNs. And I think maybe you get ahead of yourself by saying that our brains are not very efficient when the fastest supercomputer we currently have built is still 100,000x less computationally powerful than a human brain. http://www.wired.com/images_blogs/wiredscience/2013/05/neurologist-markam-human-brain3_f.jpg http://www.wired.com/images_blogs/wiredscience/2013/05/neuro... "Neural Networks attempt to bring computers a little closer to the brain’s capabilities by imitating aspects of information in the brain in a highly simplified way. Although neural networks as they are implemented on computers were inspired by the function of biological neurons, many of the designs have become far removed from biological reality." http://scholarsresearchlibrary.com/EJAESR-vol2-iss1/EJAESR-2013-2-1-36-46.pdf http://scholarsresearchlibrary.com/EJAESR-vol2-iss1/EJAESR-2...
