Researchers may have uncovered an algorithm that explains intelligence

What if a simple algorithm were all it took to program tomorrow's artificial intelligence to think like humans? According to a paper published in the journal Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, it may be that easy -- or difficult. Are you a glass-half-full or half-empty kind of person? Researchers behind the theory presented experimental evidence for the Theory of Connectivity -- the theory that all of the brains processes are interconnected (massive oversimplification alert) -- "that a simple mathematical logic underlies brain computation." Simply put, an algorithm could map how the brain processes information.
