Computational Neuroscience and You

I've had a lot of interesting ideas lately about the nature of intelligence (a very important topic to me). I haven't had the patience to write it in a "Clear" understandable manner, but here are some of the notes I jotted down. I don't know how correct it is, but many theories start off as some sort of intuition. It appears logical to me, and I don't know if human brains work exactly like this, but it appears that this is one possible way to look at it.

The following paragraph basically says that the brain uses a statistical brute force approach to predicting outcomes, though this idea hasn't been completely formed or refined even slightly yet.

The time required to predict that A will lead to B is inversely proportional to expected utility. The brain is wired so that memories of predictions have a higher confidence rating when these memories are more rapidly retrieved. New connections are made to each particular memory every time another memory is conceptually mapped to it. These other conceptually linked memories add to the confidence rating of a prediction in memory. The brain does not know or understand these connections. However, the connections are able to be made because a statistical trend can be derived from the fact that more connections will equal more evidence (other conceptually linked memories can be treated as evidence), and more evidence will equal more accurate predictions. Memories that have more conceptual connections will statistically be more likely to be retrieved more rapidly, and memories that are retrieved more rapidly are statistically more likely to be correct. Using these principles, it may be possible to determine that the brain calculates expected utility using "Time taken to process" as one of the input variables

Alright, will probably not make sense to nearly everyone who reads this, as the language used is vague and I am not sure how to make it more "Readable" yet without turning it into a novel, but small things like this can be looked at like puzzle pieces, and when enough pieces are found, the big picture becomes clear.

Hardfloor - Brachalde Rontzdrate (1993)

Hardfloor is fucking amazing. Hard acid heavenly goodness from the old days. It is full of emotion, especially towards the middle.

This is from the compilation "The Sound of Acid Core" -- I recommend downloading the entire collection and putting it on shuffle next time you trip. You won't regret it. Two days later and I'm still feeling the vibe.

Kid Acid - Notarious

From the "Sound of Acid Core" collection (get the entire thing and put it on shuffle next time you trip) -- One of my favorite tracks. Sounds better in the high quality mp3.
