Abstract:

Although practical neural networks have not been designed mainly for imitating functions of the human brain, comparing the two might shed new light to the principles governing the behavior of both. In this study, we compare the behavior neural networks to that of the human brain with emphasis on cognitive biases in uncertain reasoning, and propose suitable experimental designs that could be used to reveal such biases. We also discuss how some aspects of the functioning of the human brain at a systems level could be simulated with neural networks.
