Research on so-called “Biological Computers,” 1957
Warren McCulloch did pioneering research into neural structures and function in the context of creating “biological computers,” AKA a computational structure that mimics the processes of the human brain.
Poppy White:
“And so then much later, McCulloch, and [computational neuroscientist Walter] Pitts doing a lot of research and looking at the theory of neurology, and what they find is that the human brain’s processes of thought can actually be represented using this binary analysis. You have a very complex computer that can represent the human brain, and so that basically is kind of artificial intelligence.”
