Ask HN: Looking for article comparing human brain with neural nets

10 points by kecupochren 4y ago ↗ HN

I've read this article on a blog like 5 years ago. It was written by a neuroscientist, it was super long and the conclusion was that computer scientist radically understimate the complexity of human brain.

No matter what query I try I can't find it. Hoping someone here read it too. Thanks!

I don't think I've ever seen that specific post, but I've read Kevin Mitchell discuss the topic often (check his blog out: [1]) - maybe it could be him?

I could also imagine Daniel Dennett (philosopher of biology) or Christof Koch (neuroscientist) speaking about this. Regardless, they also have interesting takes on the problem.
