Artificial Intelligence (AI) and neuroscience have been intertwined since the start of the 20th century. Both disciplines seek to understand how the brain works, and both are exploring ways to use technology to improve our lives. AI and neuroscience are similar in many ways but differ in key aspects. In this blog post, we will explore the relationship between AI and neuroscience and how they interact with each other. We'll discuss topics such as neural networks, machine learning, natural language processing, and more to gain a better understanding of how these two disciplines complement one another.

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.

Artificial intelligence and neuroscience have a very close relationship. Knowledge from neuroscience can be utilized for improving AI and it is also true in reverse. As we have known, the artificial neural network gets its idea from the way our brain works and so do many approaches. This makes sense because if we want to build a thing on the basis of another thing, why not conduct an investigation into the original one. In opposite, AI can also support works related to neuroscience.

Is it possible to read a person's mind by analyzing the electric signals from the brain? The answer may be much more complex than most people think. Purdue University researchers--working at the intersection of artificial intelligence and neuroscience--say a prominent dataset used to try to answer this question is confounded, and therefore many eye-popping findings that were based on this dataset and received high-profile recognition are false after all. The Purdue team performed extensive tests over more than one year on the dataset, which looked at the brain activity of individuals taking part in a study where they looked at a series of images. Each individual wore a cap with dozens of electrodes while they viewed the images.

With so much at stake, the need for the field of neuroscience and AI to come together is now more urgent than ever before. In this article, we are going to explore this topic in two ways. Neuroscience has played a key role in the history of artificial intelligence. It has been an inspiration for building human-like AI. There are two ways that neuroscience inspires us to design AI systems.

Artificial Intelligence has progressed immensely in the past few years. From being just a fiction context to penetrating into the regular lives of people, AI has brought transformation in several ways. Such advancements are an output of various factors that include the application of new statistical approaches and enhanced computing powers. However, according to 2017 report by DeepMind, a Perspective in the journal Neuron, argues that people often discount the contribution and use of ideas from experimental and theoretical neuroscience. The DeepMind report's researchers believe that drawing inspiration from neuroscience in AI research is important for two reasons.

The human brain has been the main inspiration for artificial intelligence (AI) researchers for decades. The quest for recreating cognitive capabilities of the brain in deep neural networks remains one of the elusive goals of AI. From that perspective, the intersection of AI and neuroscience could be considered one of the most fascinating areas of research in modern science. However, most of the current work in neural networks has been constrained to emulate the synaptic connections between neurons in the different cortex of the brain. As neural network evolves, other human cognitive skills that are becoming increasingly relevant.

DeepMind's Demis Hassabis once pointed to the human brain as a paramount inspiration for building AI with human-like intelligence. The meteoric success of deep learning showcases how insights from neuroscience--memory, learning, decision-making, vision--can be distilled into algorithms that bestow silicon minds with a shadow of our cognitive prowess. This month, the prestigious journal Nature published an entire series highlighting the symbiotic growth between neuroscience and AI. It's been a long time coming. At their core, both disciplines are solving the same central problem--intelligence--but coming from different angles, and at different levels of abstraction.

AI can be our worst enemy or our best friend, but we do have a choice. Humans have a bias towards fear induced decisions, what do I mean by that? Our brains have evolved over millions of years, but have only been hit with technology in the past hundred years or so. Our brains are still geared to preservation, sexual reproduction and just plain survival. To paraphrase the words of the famous physicist Niels Bohr who was referring to quantum physics'If you are not shocked by the prospect of AI and its effect, on the human race you have not understood it.'
