Seeing that Han Feng agreed to join the Department of Neuroscience, Professor Li Zhongwen was very happy. The relationship between the two became closer.

Li Zhongwen was able to chat with Han Feng so easily, but on the one hand, it was because he couldn't find someone he could communicate with in China.

As we talked, the topic shifted to the question Han Feng asked last time.

Li Zhongwen already knew that Han Feng could raise that question was not accidental. He even regarded Han Feng as a peer in this field with similar levels as his. No, in some aspects, he still surpassed himself.

Li Zhongwen said: "Han Feng, the question you mentioned last time is very good. Unfortunately, I was in class at that time and couldn't talk about it in detail... I also said that, in fact, this happened to be a topic I am working on recently, so I really want to hear your views on nerve pulses."

Regarding neural pulses, the current scientifically recognized view is based on the conclusion drawn by several scientists in the 1960s: neural pulses are electrical pulses.

However, they also came to an important conclusion: the pulses do not generate heat during the conduction process. This conclusion is inconsistent with the physical laws of thermodynamics.

This is a world problem that has troubled scientists all over the world for decades. Now, Li Zhongwen actually asked Han Feng this question in turn. It can be seen that he really attaches great importance to Han Feng and no longer thinks he is a student who has just started to study such a subject.

Han Feng pondered for a while, organized the language in his mind, and said, "Actually, I asked this question in class in a hurry. I really didn't expect it to be a global problem, and I didn't expect it to be one of your research topics. It's a coincidence. What's certain is that the nerve pulses do not generate heat during the conduction process." Han Feng himself observed this conduction process from a microscopic perspective, so he could be sure of it like this.

"The electrical properties of neural pulses have also been confirmed. The laws of thermodynamics are still proven to be correct, so my opinion on this is that in addition to electrical properties, neural pulses may have other properties, and this property is likely to be difficult for us to imagine. You must also know that this example does not exist."

Li Zhongwen nodded: "I understand what you mean. It's like light, which has both the characteristics of waves and the characteristics of particles. Before the characteristics of particles were discovered, people could not imagine that light actually had this characteristic."

"Yes, that's what I mean." Talking to smart people is easy, and you can understand it without too much explanation. Han Feng continued, "Quantum mechanics has proved that all matter has wave-particle duality. I was thinking that the movement of electrons is also a kind of fluctuation. Can nerve pulses also be a kind of mechanical pulses?"

Wave-particle duality is a theoretical framework established by quantum mechanics in the early 20th century, saying that all matter can exhibit the properties of fluctuations and particles under certain circumstances.

The reason why Han Feng said this was not a casual fool. He did have his own considerations, but this was just his guess. He did not spend any effort to prove whether this view was correct. This was not something he cared about now. However, since Li Zhongwen asked about it, he said it out, perhaps it could give him a little inspiration.

"Mechanical Pulse..." Li Zhongwen showed a meditative look. Han Feng's statement was very different from the direction he had been studying. If he heard him say this before he was not clear about Han Feng's true level, Li Zhongwen would definitely smile it as a whimsical idea and would not pay much attention to it. But now it is different. He would at least think about Han Feng's words seriously.

Han Feng stopped talking and instead asked a question he had just encountered when he read a book.

"Teacher Li, Freud's theory of personality says that consciousness is a fragment of memory. If an idea and thought cannot be expressed in the form of a symbol, it cannot be presented as consciousness. Can the symbols here be understood as human language and words?"

Li Zhongwen nodded: "It can be understood so. The emergence of language and words is the greatest milestone invention in human history. It is precisely because of the emergence of language that human thinking can effectively transform into memory."

"In this way, language plays a crucial role in human memory."

"Yes, the role of language is very obvious. Without language, many of our consciousnesses cannot form effective memory. For example, this is the sense of smell. You suddenly think of a certain smell, but you can't say it, and you can't simulate what this smell is like in the brain. Only after you smell a certain smell again can you say, yes, it's this smell. Of course, predecessors have invented some vocabulary for us, such as spicy, rose fragrance, etc. If there are no these words, the characteristics of this smell in the brain cannot remember the characteristics of this smell. This is the effect of language on memory. Taste, vision, and the consciousness that internal organs want to express are all like this. These memories are symbolic, abstract, vague, and generalized." Li Zhongwen was triggered by Han Feng to talk about sex and explained his understanding in this area in one breath.

In fact, these theories were derived by him in the process of studying artificial intelligence.

Fuzzy memory?

Li Zhongwen's words also shocked Han Feng.

Seeing that Han Feng seemed to be very interested in his statement, Li Zhongwen continued: "In fact, human language is a high-level generalization of everything in nature. It is not a complete copy like a computer. The same is true for memory. Although the human brain capacity is huge, it cannot save all the information that people see, hear, and feel in their lives. Of course, it is not to intercept one of them, and shoot it into the brain like a DV. Instead, through the natural filtering mechanism of the brain, selectively process, extract, and finally organize it into memory to save it. I think this is the biggest difference between computers and humans. As now, those robots that simulate humans have indeed done a good job in logical computing, but they have completely saved the information from the outside world without any generalization. I think it is difficult to generate real consciousness and intelligence in the action of extraction."

Although he is not a computer, Professor Li Zhongwen has a deep understanding of neural networks and is naturally very interested in the topic of simulating artificial intelligence. After all, this topic is not only carried out by computer scientists, but also a field of research for biologists.

Li Zhongwen's words caused huge waves in Han Feng's heart. He suddenly realized that he had once again entered a dead end and had been thinking about problems with inertial thinking.

The human brain is indeed automatically filtered for external information, and this information is often the center of attention of all information.

Han Feng remembered a document about the human eyes that he had seen before, which mentioned that the reflection of the human eyes to the external world is not a complete mirror of the external world, but the result after processing. The brain will automatically select the most critical information for presentation. This information is often highly summarized, and the secondary image information is blurred. A good example is to stretch out your fingers and slowly move them from the eyes. We can only roughly see the shape of the fingers and judge the direction of the fingers' movement, but we have no impression of the specific details of the fingers (in natural state). If you close your eyes at this time, the brain will automatically complete the movement trajectory of the fingers.

Memory turns out to be vague and highly generalized!

Han Feng thought of a new idea that can double the storage information of his brain disk. According to this idea, although the capacity of the brain disk has not increased, the stored information can be greatly increased. From another perspective, it is equivalent to expanding the capacity of the brain disk.

Han Feng truly appreciated one sentence - listening to your words is better than reading for ten years!
