Understanding How Our Brain Processes Sensory Information and Memories

Our nervous system processes all the sensory information that our organs receive and converts it into electrical and chemical signals that go to the brain and spinal cord. Memories are formed by specific chains of neurons that represent a particular experience, which leads to the bias in the likelihood that the same neurons will be activated in the same sequence again and again.

Photonics
Summary

By incorporating a light source as simple as a transistor onto a silicon chip, processors could communicate through light above a certain distance. Though optical fibers currently utilize visible or near infrared wavelengths of light for transmitting messages, the potential for neuron-like flexibility with a small light source can revolutionize future communication systems.

Sensory perception
Summary

Humans can train their brains to navigate a three-dimensional world based on sound and ricochets, allowing for visual perception outside of their immediate surroundings. The perception of reality is based on the maps we create from our senses, and with synesthesia, the brain can reinterpret and expand that reality.

Brain computer interfacing
Summary

The challenge in brain computer interfacing lies in controlling a highly structured and non-linear system that is relevant to our lives and rests upon non-equilibrium dynamics, similar to weather patterns or active matter. The plastic potential of the brain allows it to remodel and augment sensory data, and the free energy principle plays a role in understanding its function in terms of inference.
