Presentation Transcript

  1. Brain and Computers Francisco Gómez PhD Ciencias de la Computación Para todos Departamento de Matemáticas Facultad de Ciencias Universidad Nacional de Colombia 2018

  2. Modelingcomputers “In order to make our interactions with machines more natural, we’ve learned to model them after ourselves.” Joseph Jacquard

  3. Moravec’s paradox • low-level sensorimotor skills require enormous computational resources? • High-level reasoning requires very little computation!! ¿How we perceive machines?

  4. ¿Why Moravec’s paradox? Millions of years!! Thousands of years!! Easytomodel Hardtomodel

  5. Computers vs Brain

  6. Computers vs Brain: In computation Computer Wins!! https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/computers-vs-brains/

  7. Computers vs Brain: processing of information, Brain wins!! - Processing is binary (synapsis) - Processors units are preprogrammed (genetic patterning or learned associations) - Parallel way - Data and instructions are memory - Data is crunched in the CPU - Serial way

  8. Visual system processing

  9. Visual system processing Nature Neurosciencevolume 19, pages356–365 (2016)
