This lecture examines how the collective computational function of billions of neurons gives rise to consciousness and intelligence. It explores the intricate interplay of neural circuits in creating perception, action, memory, and imagination.
Vijay Balasubramanian / University of Pennsylvania / SFI
The human brain consists of a 100 billion neurons connected by a 100 trillion synapses. In its computational function, each neuron is a simple electrical device. In this sense it is no different, in its conceptual essence, from a transistor or a diode in a silicon microchip, converting input signals into ephemeral voltage pulses that transmit to other neurons.
