Why should you care about Neuroscience?

Neuroscience should be seen as the root of artificial intelligence 🧠🤖. Reading and being aware of discoveries in neuroscience not only will allow you to be a better “Artificial Intelligence” pro 😎, but also a finer neural network architecture creator 👩‍💻!
This month we have three papers from the neuroscience world that link to AI. The first poses interesting questions about what intelligence is and if a new definition of intelligence could make AI cooperate with computational neuroscience and get to a more solid theory ground. The second paper applies Machine Learning models to detect and understand the effect of oxytocin on human brain networks and their meaning for social interactions. The final paper shows how the nervous system can be finely described with Pareto analysis.
