  2. Boltzmann brain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boltzmann_brain

    The Boltzmann brain thought experiment suggests that it might be more likely for a brain to spontaneously form in space, complete with a memory of having existed in our universe, rather than for the entire universe to come about in the manner cosmologists think it actually did.

  3. Boltzmann (disambiguation) - Wikipedia

    Ludwig Boltzmann was an Austrian physicist famous for his founding contributions in the fields of statistical mechanics and statistical thermodynamics. Boltzmann may also refer to: 24712 Boltzmann, a main-belt asteroid; the Boltzmann brain, a thought experiment; Boltzmann constant; Boltzmann (crater), an old lunar crater; Boltzmann distribution

  5. Primary somatosensory cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_somatosensory_cortex

    Brodmann areas 3, 1, and 2 make up the primary somatosensory cortex of the human brain (or S1). [2] Because Brodmann sliced the brain somewhat obliquely, he encountered area 1 first; however, from anterior to posterior , the Brodmann designations are 3, 1, and 2, respectively.

  6. Restricted Boltzmann machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restricted_Boltzmann_machine

    Diagram of a restricted Boltzmann machine with three visible units and four hidden units (no bias units) A restricted Boltzmann machine (RBM) (also called a restricted Sherrington–Kirkpatrick model with external field or restricted stochastic Ising–Lenz–Little model) is a generative stochastic artificial neural network that can learn a probability distribution over its set of inputs.

  7. Talk:Boltzmann brain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Boltzmann_brain

    It is more transparent to just avoid such terms. The reworked content is avoiding using these loaded terms altogether and using instead meaningful terms like "Boltzmann brain" and "non-Boltzmann brain" and "other spontaneously formed entities" which are plain and precise terms for the subject matter.

  8. Brodmann area 11 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brodmann_area_11

    Brodmann area 11 is a subdivision of the frontal lobe of the guenon monkey defined on the basis of cytoarchitecture (Brodmann-1905). Distinctive features: area 11 lacks an internal granular layer (IV); larger pyramidal cells of sublayer 3b of the external pyramidal layer (III) merge with a denser self-contained collection of cells in the internal pyramidal layer (V); similar to area 10 of ...

  9. Simulation hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulation_hypothesis

    René Descartes' evil demon philosophically formalized these epistemic doubts, to be followed by a large literature with subsequent variations like brain in a vat. In 1969, Konrad Zuse published his book Calculating Space on automata theory , in which he proposes the idea that the universe is fundamentally computational, a concept which became ...
