Neural Representations

Neural representations refer to the way our brain's neurons encode and process information about the world around us. Think of them as a complex code or map where different patterns of neuron activity correspond to specific thoughts, objects, or experiences. This system allows us to perceive, interpret, and remember everything from sights and sounds to emotions. By understanding neural representations, scientists can learn how the brain transforms sensory input into meaningful knowledge, helping develop better treatments for brain disorders and advanced artificial intelligence systems.
