The title is incorrect for me, as I have no clue how my brain works.
Especially with regards to my decision making as it pertains to women.

Poldrack agreed. “I don’t think any of us would want to tell people: Don’t use the word ‘memory’ anymore,” he said. But to understand the brain, we might need to challenge our intuitions about how it works — “in the same way that quantum mechanics is challenging to comport with our understanding of physical phenomena in the world.”

I suspect the answer is in the bold text. I think our brains have more in common with quantum mechanics than they realize.

Your brain is not the boss.

I would like to hear an explanation of how a single fact manifests itself in the brain. When I think of the number 42, what form does that take in the neurons and dendrons and what else?

On a computer chip, I can conceptually point to this switch being on, the next one off, and so on.

Excellent article but long. I read just over half of it, and will read the rest later.

You post a lot of interesting stuff, Badger. Thank you.

You think you know how I think how my brain thinks?
I think not.

The brain doesn’t think they way we thought it did

Plot twist: the brain they studies was Biden’s. Go figure.

The mind doesn’t work the way neuroscientists think it does, either. With their absolute commitment to materialism, without ANY admission that they cannot account for non-physical states such as love, they will continue to babble high-sounding NONSENSE. The entire demonic facade of neuroscience will finally collapse when Jesus Christ returns.

Data from this article will go into the Sci Fi novel I’m finishing. It’s sort of Spiderman meets 1984. But instead of a spider, the hero is wired up with a neural net.

I skipped the actual article for comments like this. FR did not disappoint ;-)

It’s like they’re trying to deconstruct a bitcoin by reversing its linear equations back to its origin.

The brain isn’t like that: its development is more like a bitcoin equation that changes constantly in response to new inputs, thus its complexities are exponential and thereby impossible to decode or reverse-engineer.

AI will never come close to mimicking the human mind.
