On the flip side of that, the discoveries that accompanied attention transformers are changing the way we think about our own neurology: A new study bridging neuroscience and machine learning offers insights into the potential role of astrocytes in the human brain. Convergence of Artificial Intelligence and Neuroscience towards the Diagnosis of Neurological Disorders And how we study it: Artificial Intelligence shaping the future of neurology practice
I try not to be quick to assume that intuitions around similarities are correct or incorrect, but I trust they are worth exploring.
