Our understanding of how the brain and AI (Artificial Intelligence) work has advanced considerably.
The best model of the human brain we have today dates from the 1970s and is based on neural networks. For each characteristic, a knowledge or emotion is associated. We reconstruct concepts whenever we need them. Our memories are linked to each other by common characteristics. The brain reuses features. It does not re-record common elements. What we remember is a reconstruction. Eventually, the brain eliminates concepts that are not often called upon. This happens at night, during REM (rapid eye movement), when the eyes make rapid movements. For example, if you’ve been bitten by a dog, you’ll forget less and associate more dangerous characteristics with the dog.
To see in front of us, the back of the eye is black. We have a black disc caused by the optic nerve at the back of each eye. We can’t see what’s in front of us without the brain, which reconstructs the visual environment from the periphery. We can deceive the eye with optical illusions.
This new understanding makes it possible to treat post-traumatic disorders with EMDR(Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). It reuses this phase of sleep to rebalance the neural network. For example, war veterans are taught that a loud noise is not necessarily associated with an explosive.
In the early 2010s, scientists set out to model how the brain works. The Human Brain Project set out to create a program that would reproduce brain function on a computer. At first, this model couldn’t do much. Fei-fei Li, from Stanford University, observed that a baby doesn’t know much, but only learns after exposure to its environment. The researchers then exposed the program to videos, images, sounds and text.
