There are a few theories about how this chip or chip works: Stimulating specific areas of the brain: The chip may be used to stimulate specific areas of the brain associated with aging, such as the hypothalamus. Hormone control: The chip may be used to control the secretion of hormones that play a role in aging, such as growth hormone. Repair damage at the cellular level: The chip may be used to repair damage at the cellular level, which is a major factor in aging.

The very notion that we are more evolved than chimpanzees is a bit of a misnomer, because chimps have evolved since our evolutionary divergence in a completely different direction so notions of “more advanced” are not based on place in time but rather on a more subtle set of adaptations. This may sound arbitrary, but I believe that it unearths the fact that evolution is not a path towards intellectual enlightenment but rather a more economic survival system. This means that if we evolved by 4% that might not make us smarter, it might just lower our blood pressure, alter hormonal levels. In short, evolution converges with a trend in increased intellect, but not via any sort of linear path.

In How To Create A Mind, Ray Kurzweil suggests that knowing the individual connections is not as important as simulating the brain's actual functions (pattern recognizers). It would be like trying to see how an Intel Quad core processor works by looking at all the transistor gates. You'll get some neat pictures, but no real insight on how the chip works.
@TheMyCoats10 жыл бұрын

+Eric Morrison True... to some degree. That is why there are entire projects devoted to that line of inquiry--Blue Brain Project is one I'm aware of. They are putting all their chips in on the train of thought you put forward. I suspect that both will be needed. Let's not forget that we know even less about the importance of the internal chemical makeup of the neurons. Many are only focused on the physical structure and interconnectedness but there are many other facets that might be highly influential if not fundamental to function.
@kaktotak82677 жыл бұрын
Depends on what you want to achieve. If you want to build an AI, I guess that's not the most efficient way to do it. If you want to understand how a human brain works, e.g. to be able to treat some disorders, than this might be the best way we have. Depending on what units the evolutionary forces act upon in the brain, there might not be any resemblance of the general plan (like in the case of Intel chips), and you'll have to go from individual connections up.

i know this comment is 7 years old but in my understanding a lot of it has to do with the redirection of prime instinct. When we grow up we will inevitably form defenses against certain instinctive drives when they cannot be realized at a particular time in the world. Ideally, with time, the brain will self regulate and will find a good way to meet the instinctive demands in the real world without heavily repressing or redirecting them (in essence disposing or at least updating the repressing defense mechanisms). When this doesn't happen because the upbringing was too problematic and the environment doesn't allow positive change, the frustration of instinct may lead them to become more and more perverted, as the defense mechanisms will do everything they can to survive. Perverted and frustrated instincts may lead to hate, emotional numbness, depression (maybe even an unconscious activation of the death drive as a result of the frustration of all the other instincts) and will cause people to be more easily manipulated by certain toxic ideas or ideologies.

National Geographic The bundle seems to cover only one axon, and the scientists mention one millimeter. How is this showing "every synapse"?
@clangclangclangchomp10 жыл бұрын
The cylinder is placed around a single spiny dendrite (red), and its volume is about 675 cubic microns (way smaller than a cubic millimeter). Many axons (and many other dendrites) also enter the cylinder. Inside they make around 800 synapses between each other. We could label all synapses in the electron-microscopic image stack and then extract a 'connectivity matrix' of connections between axons and dendrites within the cylinder. However for the most part we don't know where the cell bodies are from which the axons and dendrites originate (with exceptions, for example we know it for the central red dendrite, as you can see around 1:20), and we don't know what other synapses they make outside the cylinder, so this analysis of connectivity is currently only a very local one.

We are free to choose God's nature or not God is Love and whoever stays to him will stay to him and whoever chooses not to will be detached from him which is Love without love there is only Hate jealousy pain suffering I'd advice people to choose for God!
