Artificial Intelligence will now help unravel the mystery of human brain Latest News & Updates at Daily News & Analysis

Scientists are using emerging artificial intelligence (AI) networks to enhance their understanding of one of the most elusive intelligence systems: the human brain. The researchers are learning much about the role of contextual clues in human image recognition. By using artificial neurons - essentially lines of code, software - with neural network models, they can parse out the various elements that go into recognising a specific place or object. "The fundamental questions cognitive neuroscientists and computer scientists seek to answer are similar," said Aude Oliva from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the US. "They have a complex system made of components - for one, it is called neurons and for the other, it is called units - and we are doing experiments to try to determine what those components calculate," said Oliva, who presented the research at the annual meeting of the Cognitive Neuroscience Society (CNS).
