Tom Griffiths describes how neural networks, logic and probability theory together explain cognition

In this episode of “Brain Inspired,” Paul Middlebrooks talks with Tom Griffiths, professor of psychology and computer science at Princeton University, about his new book, “The Laws of Thought: The Quest For a Mathematical Theory of the Mind.” The book tracks the people and ideas throughout history that have shaped how we study cognition. It argues that symbolic logic, probability theory and neural networks, when used together, are enough to explain how mind and brain work via “laws of thought.”
