How Physics, Engineering and Mathematics Have Shaped Our Understanding of the Brain

by Grace Lindsay ...

The human brain is made up of 85 billion neurons, which are connected by over 100 trillion synapses.For more than a century, a diverse array of researchers searched for a language that could be used to capture the essence of what these neurons do and how they communicate – and how those communications create thoughts, perceptions and actions. The language they were looking for was mathematics, and ... Read more
