"Peeling open the mind: from chemicals to computations and beyond"
Zach Mainen, Principal Investigator, Champalimaud Foundation
The human brain is the most complex system we know. Its functions still exceed our ability to engineer or to understand. Our current best understanding views brains as computers or information processing machines.
In this talk, I will explain this view, tell about how we got there and speculate on where we may be going next.
