Neurologists chose their profession because they are poor in math.

Therefore only physicists excelling in mathematical algorithm can
figure out how the brain compute.

Anyone got an theory or mathematical idea how the brain neurons
compute (or what kind of algorithm it use)?

You should look up the work of Hebb in the 1940's. He completely
solved how neural networks correlate data. No algorithm required
except for simulating neural nets on linear computers.

The seat of awareness has long been established as being the
néocortex (a 6-layer neural network). You would have to dig into
neurophysiology archive to learn about this. Starting with
Pavlov, many others explored the various aspects. Look up
Eccles for references to most of them. Chauchard in the
1940's 1950's finished the job.

You could get hold of "On Intellignece" by Jeff Hawkins. He
rediscovered much of this and is good at explaining.

A pity that most in the pertaining disciplines don't even
know that all of this has been understood long ago.

No integrated refs in lectures for the past half century
ensured that these discoveries remained sleeping in
dusty archives.

André Michaud

So it is theoretically possible to build a self-aware computer
or android. I wonder when will we have these silicon sentient
beings joining with us in the planet. Do you know of folks
seriously building this now?
