Tabetha S. Boyajian Quotes

The human brain is an incredible pattern-matching machine.

Prediction is not just one of the things your brain does. It is the primary function of the neo-cortex, and the foundation of intelligence.

There's a lot of real estate in our brain dedicated to facial recognition and to physics. That takes a lot of processing power out of our brain.

I have always been convinced that the only way to get artificial intelligence to work is to do the computation in a way similar to the human brain. That is the goal I have been pursuing. We are making progress, though we still have lots to learn about how the brain actually works.

I think that what the machines can do, of course, is wonderful, but it's not the same as what the brain can do.

Mimicking the intricacies of the human brain, a neuro-inspired computer would work in a fashion similar to the way neurons and synapses communicate. It could potentially learn or develop memory.

The human brain must continue to frame the problems for the electronic machine to solve.

One of the interesting applications of symbolic systems is artificial intelligence, and I spent some time thinking about how to create a brain that operates the way ours does.

The brain has about ten thousand parameters for every second of experience. We do not really have much experience about how systems like that work or how to make them be so good at finding structure in data.

Nobody phrases it this way, but I think that artificial intelligence is almost a humanities discipline. It's really an attempt to understand human intelligence and human cognition.

I don't think there's anything unique about human intelligence.

We pretend that the brain is binary, like a computer. But it's not. It's completely holographic.

As someone who was basically a software engineer for many years, I became fascinated with how the brain functions and is put together and works in such a different fashion than computers do.

As a programmer, you're working with very simple structures compared to the brain. So I was always fascinated by how the brain works.

As a college student, what really interested me was the human brain and human intelligence.

Moore's Law-based technology is so much easier than neuroscience. The brain works in such a different way from the way a computer does.

Nobody really knows what it would take to create something that is self-aware or has a personality. I guess I could imagine a day when perhaps, if we can understand how it works in the human brain, which is unbelievably complicated, it could be possible.

A computational device is incapable of developing a mind. We got consciousness not just by being clever.

In terms of the brain, you can in a crude way think of the human brain as a computer.

Understanding vision and building visual systems is really understanding intelligence.

The brain sure as hell doesn't work by somebody programming in rules.

The brain is so intricate. It can do so many things, and people sleep on it. It's not just a piece of meat in there - it can do so much.

The individual is the brain, not the heart.

I don't think there's anything unique about human intellience. All the nuerons in the brain that make up perceptions and emotions operate in a binary fashion.

What's most interesting about trying to figure out AI is the questions that it forces you to ask about the nature of consciousness.
