Scientists may have discovered the algorithm for Human intelligence

It seems algorithms rule the world, now scientists think they have identified the algorithm responsible for human intelligence, if true then it could revolutionise artificial intelligence Little might you realise but as you read this article good chances are your brain is running its "n 2ⁱ-1" algorithm. And who said you couldn't do maths!? Scientists in the USA now believe that our brains have a basic algorithm that enable us to not just recognise a meal, or words on a page, for example, but also the intelligence to ponder their broader implications. "A relatively simple mathematical logic underlies our complex brain computations," said Dr. Joe Tsien, a neuroscientist at the Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University. Tsien is talking about his Theory of Connectivity, a fundamental principle for how our billions of neurons assemble and align not just to acquire knowledge, but to generalise and draw conclusions from it. Scientists pull images from peoples minds using AI and fMRI "Intelligence is really about dealing with uncertainty and infinite possibilities," said Tsien, "it appears to be enabled when a group of similar neurons form a variety of cliques to handle each basic like recognising food, shelter, friends and foes. Groups of cliques then cluster into functional connectivity motifs, or FCMs, to handle every possibility in each of these basics like extrapolating that rice is part of an important food group that might be a good side dish for your meal. The more complex the thought, the more cliques join in."
