Abstract Concepts in Neural Networks and Predecessors to Genetics
33:44 - 37:12 (03:28)
The concept of expressing abstract concepts within neural networks preceded molecular genetics, which was first studied through phenotypic experiments such as those conducted by Mendel with pea plants. This type of information can also be conveyed through visual aids such as cartoons and stock market graphs.

Summary
The concepts of genetics and neural networks both evolved from their initial discovery to a better understanding of how they work. Genetics, in particular, started with phenomenological experiments like Mendel's, while neural networks can express abstract concepts through neurons.
