How AI and Neuroscience can amplify each other

The disciplines of AI and neuroscience serve as inspirations for each other, forming a strong symbiotic relationship. Both fields share the common goal of understanding human cognition and intelligence. AI principally focuses on mimicking human cognitive abilities, such as learning and decision-making, applying it to problem-solving, planning, speech recognition and the creation of intelligent systems. AI has also helped revolutionize neuroscience, forming a virtuous circle, providing answers to certain questions about the neuron-to-neuron transmissions in our brain: Why certain memories are deleted in Alzheimer's/ dementia; why individuals go into a coma after traumatic head injuries and the underlying patterns of human behavior [1]. Studies aimed at answering these questions can further be applied to psychology, healthcare and forensics.
