День тому

How does the human brain work and how is it different from computers? If you think this is too complex to explain in a few minutes, you will be surprised. In this energetic and insightful talk, neuro-scientist Dr. Henning Beck gives insights into thought processes and tells you how you can create new ideas.
Dr. Henning Beck, neuroscientist and author, supports businesses to use brain-based approaches in order to develop innovative and efficient workflows. He studied biochemistry in Tübingen from 2003 to 2008. After his diploma thesis, he started his research at the Hertie Institute for Clinical Brain Research and intensified his work at the Institute of Physiological Chemistry at the University of Ulm. Supported by a PhD scholarship granted by the Hertie Foundation he did his doctorate at the Graduate School of Cellular & Molecular Neuroscience in Tübingen. He expanded his scientific expertise by an International Diploma in Project Management at the University of California, Berkeley in 2013. Until 2014, he worked for start-ups in the San Francisco Bay Area to develop creative workspace designs and advanced communication styles based on neuroscientific principles.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

I have been a Software Engineer for 20+ years, in fact I worked in predictive analytics (Deep Learning) for a decade. He is actually right about deep diving into a problem and solution and then walking away to receive inspiration automatically from your mind. This is a common practice for Engineers during design and functional requirements phase of developing an innovative solution.

In the video example ot sitting on chair and different chair types, can't a person program a code in deep learning expressing the process of sitting and afterwards simply apply it to different objects ?

@@Brightnight123 i also think like that , he said that we understand chair is something that we can sit on ,now if computer also get programmed like that they will also produce the same output as you , the difference between us computer is something else , our system is way more complex because our input is 5 senses plus the vivid memory while processor (intellect ) is likely the same . but then we are probably way more than that which we don't understand and will never may be like the memory where do it come from and probably the consciousness that we are aware of things. we are way more than intellect to be precise.
@ankitmahlawat167
@ankitmahlawat167 2 роки тому
after that he goes on to show that forest and family example on board which again is slightly misleading because the input here is not just the figure on the board but his voice as well and our past memory and our already formed neural network. so there is so much more that just the diagram he is considering as input which currently is not replicable.

Understanding does not equate to freedom. When we learn for the sake of understanding, we realize that understanding itself has no finality. That is to say, learning is perpetual learning -- nothing else. Understanding is not some distinct state from the process of learning. We use models to understand phases in the process.

The advice of relax, getting brain processing and generating ideas, making new connections, and constantly challenge our belief is very helpful. Really, do not think and work like an machine!

10:39 - The core point taken from this talk is to understand the difference between understanding and learning. Once you learn something there is a chance that you can 'unlearn' it later and change it but once you understand something you can't de-understood it. we understand very fast on the spot, we don' t need to do the processing. So deep learning is good but deep understanding is better.

In my opinion consciousness is physical understandable by memories + the functional areas of our bodies, so what makes us different from everyone else (including twins) is going to be everyone's personal memories. Every part of the Central nervous system (in the same way as the rest as the body does) has its specific functions. An amazing property of the brain is the neuroplasticity, the fact that when we think it reacts changing the "highways"= dendrites between neurons. The limbic system (the emotional center) plus the frontal cortex (the brain's area for reasoning) interact constantly (in processing the inputs coming from the sensory and the motor areas) and they "work producing the memories". Memories are thought to be created in the hippocampus (located in the limbic system) and during sleep stored back to the cortex in form of consistent long-term memories. There are several types of "memories", like when we learn cycling or doing some movement, the "central processor" of the motor is the Cerebellum and it's believed it also stores these kind of memories, but I'm specifically referring to the memories that makes us who we are.

As an electrical engineer I have had formal courses of IA and when doing them, I thought how smart it is but also how limited it are, as the video guy believed. But now seeing how much it has evolved and how much calculation power is available, I believe that real counscious IA is unavoidable. By the same process that give us intelligence and we don't really know how it works and how it rises from unintelligent beings (same as life had rise from inert molecules from the soil), IA is going to born by itself by "emergence" process, drived by our will to develope it, just because probability and the fact that random simple processes unavoidable leads to more complex ordered results if they are leaves to evolved by try-n-error selection algorithms.

This is good, but it does not tell us what a thought is. All the various talks, discussions, etc. you are likely to see simply dance around the question. Thoughts usually enter (bubble up into) what we call our "consciousness" fully clothed in words - all dressed up in language. Obviously, they come to us from what is by far the largest part of our brain - which we think of as "unconscious". But how do they become dressed up in words? What is the process by which they are formed into language? In what form do they exist before they are shaped into language? How are they generated in the brain? Are they a sort of dressing up of a pre-verbal intuition? If so, what exactly is a preverbal intuition? And yes, I know that occasionally an "aha!" thought (or intuition) arrives "undressed", and must be clothed in words consciously by us. And, yes we do consciously add finishing touches to thoughts that are already formed in sensible language when they come into our consciousness, and then combine them with other supporting or related thoughts, before we express them. But, exactly how do we do that? These are all questions that cannot be answered in broad generalities, or with analogies. But that is they only way we seem to ever see them treated.

You can assimilate thoughts to images and sounds that emerge from our brains, it's as if our brain simulate your perceptions and recreate their effects. In cognitive psychology thoughts generate emotions which generate behaviour, which in return generate thoughts and so on.

Its not meant to answer the question. They all dance around the idea because they are simply created to plant an idea in your mind (how related). he is sharing his idea, and probably a common idea in that area of science of the why an imperfect mind gives ideas and perhaps encourage us to challenge what we percieve as "right" with the people who surround us. He presented this well. Those who answer the question are not usually the most inspirational. But I dont know hwether you were saying that they dance around the question in a good or bad way, so i'll just leave my reply there :>

Interesting. Started as one topic, and ended as another topic. Should have really been titled: "Computers Vs. Consciousness"

Computers just take away from us one of our greatest gifts, thinking. An idea, or a thought, has its origin in the mind, the soul. Then the soul instructs the brain to either take action or not, the brain does not think, it is like the cockpit of an aircraft and the soul is the pilot...................Falun Dafa

Nuevas ideas creativas me llegan en ese estado de soñar y estar casi despierto simultáneamente. Después de leer o platicar de algo totalmente fuera de cualquier experiencia previa. Por ejemplo leo simultáneamente 5 o 6 libros de temas diversos. Y los dejo que aniden en mi mente y a los pocos días se van recombinado y vienen a mi consciencia pláticas con ideas totalmente diferentes que van creando, nuevos diálogos que me sorprenden porque no estaban ahí. Es como descubrir un nuevo universo o algo muy raro verdaderas aventuras de la mente

The skill of thinking is a calculated, guided mental activity that removes distractions, fears, and worries and allows you to purposely go on a journey for ideas, thoughts, and directions that will help you better your life or business. Thoughts become things, choose the good one! Be a good thinker!

I believe Understanding is different from Memorising. You can remember a piece of information, but at some point, you might forget it. But if you understand how a concept works, you can always understand it forever.

Actually when we understand something we remember it forever, but it gets lost in your giant brain eventually and that is forgetting in reality.
