At a detailed level, artificial neural networks look very different from natural brains. At a higher level, they are uncannily similar. My story for @thetransmitter, edited by @kristin_ozelli, features @KathaDobs @ev_fedorenko @lampinen @Neurograce and others. https://www.thetransmitter.org/neural-networks/can-an-emerging-field-called-neural-systems-understanding-explain-the- #neuroscience #AI #LLMs
Can an emerging field called ‘neural systems understanding’ explain the brain?

This mashup of neuroscience, artificial intelligence and even linguistics and philosophy of mind aims to crack the deep question of what "understanding" is…

@gmusser @thetransmitter @kristin_ozelli @KathaDobs @ev_fedorenko @lampinen @Neurograce @UlrikeHahn 👆I really recommend this. There is a fair bit of comment on this platform on how non-human-like artificial neural networks and #LLMs are, but most of it is not by cognitive scientists or neuroscientists. This article is an informative counterbalance.
