Scientists reveal how brain combines multiple memories into new insights
WASHINGTON, Sept. 19 (Xinhua) -- Neuroscientists find how the people's brain combined memories to arrive at novel insights, lending a clue to developing faster artificial intelligence.
The study published on Wednesday in the journal Neuron reported the novel brain mechanism that would allow retrieved memories to trigger the retrieval of further, related memories.
This mechanism allows the retrieval of multiple linked memories, which then enable the brain to create new kinds of insights, according to the study.
