Dear all, I would like to inform the members of the cvnet that recently a new paradigm has been proposed on how the mind emerges from the brain. According to that paradigm, synapses and connections are no longer central. Instead, critical are some other types of proteins on the neural membrane. These proteins have the capability to transiently select subnetworks that will be operational in the next few seconds or minutes. The paradigm proposes that cognition emerges from those transient subnetwork selections (and not from network computations of the classical, so-called connectionist approach). The proteins in question are metabotropic receptors and G protein-gated ion channels. Simply put, we think with those proteins.
Implications for AI are immense.
