Hands-On One-shot Learning with Python

How the human brain learns

Most of the information on how the brain trains itself to process data is unknown, but there are various theories that explore it. If we look into the structure of a brain's neuron, as shown in the following diagram, a neuron works similar to a collector, wherein it collects signals from other neurons through dendrites. Once the signal becomes strong, the neuron sends out an electrical signal through thin strands known as axons to nearby neurons. At the end of this network, the synapse converts the signal activity into an excitation activity and activates the connected neurons. Brain neurons learn to send signals to different parts of the brain by changing the effectiveness of the synapse, similar to how some weights ...
