This is interesting, it's about how the brain functions to get and send signals, but it actually messes up a lot of the time (damages the signal, or the signal never makes it to its destination), so it compensates for that

It's more a Control Systems kind of thing

What you're describing (Input -> machine -> Output) is an Open System

The Brain here is involved in a Closed Feedback system, where it tries to attenuate its own error and not only that, it uses its error as input for further input attenuation. It's fascinating shit.

If you're interested, I have a whole bunch of books that talk about Control Systems...some are based in Mech Eng, but I think I have one or two that spend the majority of the book just talking about electric circuits and things like filtering, noise-reduction, proper input gain, blablabla.

Thanks so much for the link yesterday!

I feel pwned by these comments ;)

...and I've spent the last month prepping for interviews in Control Systems...AND I STILL GOT PWNED AT EVERY INTERVIEW.

Time to hit the books ;)

My sister also loved the human brain (she's not a Zombie), and decided to become a psychiatrist.
I prefer the simplified version... computers!

I think AI programming is really cool, and well recognized in the industry. Maybe you should try having the course credited instead of just auditing?

I don't need anymore COMP credits unfortunately!
