What are the actual biological mechanisms?
- A great deal of research (particularly from the AI end) is
an existence proof.
- All of that binding work is just
showing that it can be done.
- Our CABots just show that you can build a neural agent.
- Emergent Algorithms, like Granger's Engine of the Brain, aren't
proof that the brain works like this.
- The real question is how does the brain achieve these things.
- Models alone can't solve the problem, we need a process
of integrating modelling, biology and psychology.
- Researchers frequently decompose problems so they can cope
with them, but the solutions need to be reintegrated.
- Biological research can see how individual neurons behave and
how big areas behave (via fMRI for instance), but we
don't know the intermediate details of how it works in the brain.
- Can we move from proof of concept to proof (or even sound evidence) of
brain function?
