It is not possible with current technology to simulate the human brain on a non-biological object. But scientists have learned and remembered at least the most basic human cognitive abilities in their new study. can be mimicked on non-biological objects showed.

Using nanowires that are only one-thousandth the thickness of a human hair, scientists found that the wires begin to learn and remember their previous movements. However, these threads do not contain any biological elements made of highly conductive silver consisted of.

Teller manages to keep his previous moves in his memory and learn from his mistakes:

It is quite unusual to expect something non-biological to learn or retain something. But in experiments with these wires, the wires responded to electrical signals and formed networks within themselves. In addition, these established networks mirror what they have done in previous signals. he “remembered” at least 7 steps.

Moreover, these 7 steps equal the average amount of information that the human brain can hold in its working memory. equivalent used to be. This number in the human brain, published in 1994 “The magic number seven, plus or minus two: some limits of our information processing capacity.That was in the article titled ”.

But how do strings learn and remember things?

Wires react just like neurons when they receive an electrical signal.synapseIt behaved like ports named ‘. But learning and remembering the strings didn’t come naturally.

After the scientists gave an electrical signal, they compared the expected result with the result of the mesh. In light of the data obtained, the terminal points of the wires strengthened or dulledThus the desired result was achieved.

The memory of the strings was seen by doing the ‘n-back’ test, which is used to measure memory in humans. As part of the test, a series of stimuli was presented to the mesh and each new stimulus compared the previous steps. network at least 7 steps was observed to be repeated in each signal.

The new work of scientists, that physical equipment can also provide learning and memory-building skills. illuminated. The research has been published in Science Advances.
