So here’s a question: When a single region stores sequences, what are they sequences of? The answer is that a region first classifies its inputs as one of a limited number of possibilities, and then looks for sequences.

But the networks themselves were still severely limited in what they could do. Accurate results to complex problems required many layers of artificial neurons, but researchers hadn’t found a way to efficiently train those layers as they were added. Deep learning’s big technical break finally arrived in the mid-2000s, when leading researcher Geoffre

The science of complex systems is the study of how local interactions can lead to global consequences.

The sense organs supplying these signals are different, but once they are turned into brain-bound action potentials, they are all the same—just patterns.

Biological computation is called cognition,

For all the progress that’s been made, most of the world’s written knowledge remains fundamentally inaccessible, even if it is digital and online, because it is in a form that machines don’t understand. Electronic health records, for example, are filled with what is often called unstructured text, things like doctors’ notes, emails, news articles,
