      What was shown in this video is exactly the process used in artificial neural networks to recognize images, it's called forward propagation (input -> prediction).
      That being said it doesn't talk about how these neurons are actually learning to recognize these specific patterns (lines, dots, angles, faces, etc...). In this experiment the neurons were preprogrammed to fire when they see a line, an angle, a loop, etc...
      The algorithm used in deep learning to achieve this task is called backward propagation (prediction -> input). There is some evidence that the brain does a similar thing, although it's probably way more complex than what is programmed in our computers today.
      But hey, it works pretty well

      the main reason it works so well, i think, is that as a neuron you don't need to think a lot individually, you just need to fire if the neurons you're assigned fire, and you can basically do that in an instant. i feel like if you found a way to do this where each neuron-person pressed a button and that button was indicated to the next neuron, you'd see this brain would be even faster.

      @@wta1518 i guess it is an outdated concept, although it is still used.
      There may be a bit harmful to your education using on early stages, when you are learning multiplication and such, you have to do a little effort to get the result. Plus, there is satisfaction tha you are doing it yourself, it is not a machine that is doing it. Like, I'm a teacher and I remember a student asking to use the calculator for 4x25... Like, I think a little bit of practice without calculator is important.
      But yeah, the majority of questions nowadays in real life are not those basic ones, but the ones you need creativity to reach results. Calculators are just tools you can use to facilitate. So it is important after all to know how to use it.
      But, also, one of the main reasons we, teachers, won't let use calculator all the time is because of the admission tests for college. Like, here in Brazil, it is a big deal and high school education is very much shaped for that test, so we are a bit tied to this.
      But using calculator on class is a concept that is getting more and more approval over the years, let's hope some day we can use the calculators to our advantage

The "cells" looking around in confusion as they realize everyone is raising their flags, though, shows real brains take in and react to a lot more data than a simulation-- the cells gave the "correct" wrong answer-- but if you interviewed the retina people, they would have individually guessed: "He drew all over the grid.

      @@brandonhughes4076 ahhh cool. You could have two image detector networks and them an adder network, but the adder network would be roughly the same size as a detector. However, this is a bit overkill.
      It would probably be possible to train a network roughly the same size as one detector number that could compute the additional of two input numbers. As far are the network is concerned, the world is just inputs and labels. The pattern corresponding to "4+7" simply has the label "11". I doubt the network they've created is at full capacity, so it should be possible to retrain for your addition task.

      Judging from introspection and computer design, you don’t need to create a linear neural network. The addition is better represented by a memory combined with an adder unit and a clock, so you can do addition one digit at a time and store intermediate results.

    favourite mind field episode by far! actually taught me how neural networks work

    This was an awesome episode, it's nice watching this now as well with the corona goin on with a glimpse in the past with large gatherings of people.
