Electronic neural networks, fundamental in AI research, show parallels with human neurobiology. A collaborative study by MIT, MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab, and Harvard Medical School suggests astrocyte-neuron networks in the brain resemble AI transformers’ core computations. Published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the study proposes that these biological networks could emulate transformers, shedding light on human cognition.
