Yet more and more studies of learning (granted, very basic forms of learning like fear conditioning) provide evidence in support of the connectionist approach to learning , in which machine learning is based. In fact, no other theory has emerged as a popular candidate to replace it , despite the fact that experimental neuroscience has done huge steps forward since the 60s. If machine learning works so well, then its a valid question whether real brains work similarly.
