Big Data Is Not Knowledge
Neuroscience handling big data still lacks a theoretical framework or even a basic principle that convert brain data into basic knowledge and understanding. Vast amounts of information end up being counterproductive by injecting uncertainty into existing global understanding while adding new levels of complexity.
A creative application of the new and emerging technologies is required, along with further advances in data analysis methods.

Explaining The Brain: Strong Emergence
Certain phenomena cannot be explained by a single activity, where individual components work in tandem with each other and it is hard to pinpoint where the process starts or ends. The workings of such a phenomenon, known as Strong Emergence, cannot be categorized or bracketed in a single...

The Mind As An Operating System
Some researchers envision the brain as an operating system that is ‘installed’ on neural hardware. This naive viewpoint assumes that brains and minds are identical in all living creatures, and can be separated into neat categories like hardware and software.
Even to simulate such a hypothe...

The Brain Is An Enigma
- Modern science does not yet have an official framework regarding the brain being able to produce consciousness.
- Scientists are still on the lookout for a unified, acceptable theory of brain function in any living species on earth, even worms.

A Better Definition Of The Brain
We have been taught that our brain is just a biological computer. It is actually an integrated and highly evolved structure that is shape-shifting and extremely adaptive towards all kinds of stimulation.
New discoveries provide us with a glimpse of the brain’s previously u...

Explaining The Brain: Weak Emergence
Certain activities in nature, such as how a group of tiny fish move in response to an attack from a bigger fish, are based on the behaviour of individuals who influence their entire group.
These activities are known as Weak Emergence, and are commonly observed in many behavioural...

The Brain: Linear Vs Neural
By considering the brain as a computer, we assume that it functions as a series of linear steps. However, the brain is a visually breathtaking three-dimensional network of complex neural nodes that are interconnected both internally and externally.
It is not a simple input-...

Reverse-Engineering The Brain
Even understanding the simplest parts of the brain is beyond our reach.
Recent experiments trying to reverse-engineer a computer chip from the 70s(those used to play Atari and Nintendo games) showed that one cannot even detect the hierarchy of how the information i...
