From the engineering point of view (the brain) looks sloppy and gooey and slapped together. |
How much computation can you squeeze from a given amount of energy. |
If we are able to figure out how these neurons organize themselves, it's going to provide a solution we need down the road to build more powerful computers. |
We'll be able to interact with these computers the way we interact with each other, they would recognize speech. |
When I tried to figure out how computers worked, I was disgusted. I thought it was totally brute force. I felt there had to be a more elegant way to do this. |
