The human brain is a complex structure that can be studied by analyzing genomic data to determine how genes operate and how proteins interact with each other. However, it is still unclear how the circuit of the brain provides us with simple characteristics like the edges of objects.

Neural Networks
Summary

The intricacies and inner workings of neural networks allow for computation on a given input to determine output even if it is not clear how certain determinants such as object edges affect the network structure. While neural networks can be understood by the circuit, they may not always be explainable to humans.

Biological Data Sets
Summary

The increasing availability of biological data sets is revolutionizing how researchers study ancestry, predict disease tendencies, and analyze genomic data to determine the presence of genes and proteins, and their interactions. However, there is also a need for caution as the side effects of manipulating genes are not yet fully understood.
