How the brain makes you

The human brain has 100 billion neurons connected by 100 trillion synapses. In its computational function, each neuron is a simple electrical device, like a transistor or diode in a microchip, which converts input signals into voltage pulses that transmit to other neurons. In the brain, the electrical fluttering of neurons in a vast network creates the intelligent mind, with its capacity for perception and action, memory and imagination, affection and indifference. In this talk, I will consider how this transmutation occurs using examples from vision, navigation, and learning, and while drawing comparisons to artificial neural networks
