- Vince McMahon On How His Thought Process Works: "I have, not two different brains, but like, computers in my head and sometimes they work against me... And then there’s a third one sometimes. [He's asked what his third brain is thinking] Something having a lot of fun and it’s involving sex.” https://www.sescoops.com/news/wwe/vince-mcmahon-third-brain-sex-netflix/ 23 comments squaredcircle

- While no computer program today is particularly good at discerning what makes one face different from another, researchers have uncovered clues about the kinds of computations brains might be making when assessing the familiarity of faces https://zuckermaninstitute.columbia.edu/computer-models-mimic-brain-s-ease-telling-faces-apart 2 comments science
- Stephen Hawking: "I believe there is no deep difference between what can be achieved by a biological brain and what can be achieved by a computer. It therefore follows that computers can, in theory, emulate human intelligence — and exceed it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8dsdRyddg0 156 comments artificial
- Researchers recorded the brain activity of 50 people while they looked at a series of 500 images. They found that participants' brains reacted differently to each image, enough that a computer system was able to identify each volunteer's "brainprint" with 100 percent accuracy. http://techxplore.com/news/2016-04-brain-percent-accuracy.html 466 comments science
- Researchers analyzed how suicidal individuals think and feel differently about life and death, by looking at patterns of how their brains light up in an fMRI machine. The computational classifier was able to pick out the suicidal ideators with more than 90 percent accuracy. https://www.wired.com/story/fmri-ai-suicide-ideation/ 9 comments science
- Post-Human Mathematics - computers may become creative, and since they function very differently from the human brain they may produce a very different sort of mathematics. We discuss the philosophical consequences that this may entail http://arxiv.org/pdf/1308.4678v1.pdf 262 comments philosophy

- Magnets can help AI get closer to the efficiency of the human brain. Researchers use magnetics with brain-like networks to program robots, self-driving cars and drones to better generalize about different objects, trying to mimic the human brain and compute via a connection of neurons and synapses. https://www.purdue.edu/newsroom/releases/2019/q2/a-magnetic-personality,-maybe-not.-but-magnets-can-help-ai-get-closer-to-the-efficiency-of-the-human-brain.html 3 comments science
- Each of our brain cells could work like a mini-computer, with our brain like 100 billion mini-computers working together, according to the first recording of electrical activity in human cells at a super-fine level of detail that revealed a key structural difference between human and mouse neurons. https://www.newscientist.com/article/2182987-your-brain-is-like-100-billion-mini-computers-all-working-together/ 128 comments science
