I said they've lived and have been able to function, not that they were left as 200 IQ Olympic athletes.
>Only at a very young age
Don't be a lying faggot.

>A total of 90 cases of adult hemispherectomy were identified, including 6 newly added by Barrow Neurological Institute. Sixty-five patients underwent functional hemispherectomy; 25 patients had anatomical hemispherectomy. Length of follow-up ranged from 9 to 456 months. Seizure freedom was achieved in 80% of patients. The overall morbidity rate was low, with 9 patients (10%) having new or additional postoperative speech or language dysfunction, and 19 patients (21%) reporting some worsening of hemiparesis. No patients lost ambulatory or significant functional ability, and 2 patients had objective ambulatory improvement. Among the 41 patients who underwent additional formal neuropsychological testing postoperatively, overall stability or improvement was seen.

This sounds like a very stupid person's attempt to reproduce a description someone else gave him of the most basic sort of feedforward backprop network.
Which, yes OP, ***WAS*** a great innovation 80 years ago.

>tfw still no auto-bans for Electric Universe retards
I guess the next best thing is anyone stumbling upon this trainwreck of a thread can look up "Electric Universe" and see for themselves the level of retardation these literal cult victims have fallen for now that I've posted said cult's name which they've learned to avoid mentioning themselves over here so as to make it take slightly longer before everyone else on /sci/ realizes the scope of their delusion.

>that'd be too big of an advantage when gaming, imagine mouse and keyboard with no delay at all
You would still have a delay, what are you talkint about? Delay comes from mental reaction time, not your hands.

Make a real argument or shut the fuck up. I'll repeat:
>C. elegans behavior is predicted from neural activity.
Assertion from:
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/biorxiv/early/2018/10/17/445643.full.pdf
You absolutely cannot by any reasonable definition claim we can't even understand the 300 neuron c. elegans brain when we literally understand it better than the fucking weather and can actually predict behavior from those neurons and their activity. You stupid shit.

The problem is you, not wikipedia. All the information you need to stop being a retard is already included on the relevant wikipedia page. Just follow the little reference hyperlinks.

Asking "didn't AlphaGo Zero solve chess like 2 or 3 months ago?" means you believed it did. Which makes you completely retarded given how solving chess is one of the most famous examples of an absurdly intractable task e.g.:
>>10734087
>Each chess game has an average of 40 moves and for each move a player chooses between an average 30 possible moves. That means the LOWER bound for chess game-tree complexity is 10^120 (1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000) possible games.
>Number of atoms in the observable universe is only 10^80 in contrast.
You also could've just looked up what solving chess means instead of shitting up the thread with your retarded idea it was already solved, something I still have no idea how you even came about belieiving in the first place. Who told you that? Where did you get that idea from?

>We don't even understand this worm's brain!
>Yes we do.
>Well, I mean, we can't PREDICT this worm's behavior from its brain!
>Yes we can.

>There are sources of calories which can never be turned into fat.
>Calories are unimportant and insufficient to describe the effectiveness of a ketogenic diet.
You don't lose more weight if you keep calories the same and only change the macronutrient ratio.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19246357
>Comparison of weight-loss diets with different compositions of fat, protein, and carbohydrates.
>CONCLUSIONS: Reduced-calorie diets result in clinically meaningful weight loss regardless of which macronutrients they emphasize.

>Ketogenic low-carbohydrate diets have no metabolic advantage over nonketogenic low-carbohydrate diets
>KLC and NLC diets were equally effective in reducing body weight and insulin resistance, but the KLC diet was associated with several adverse metabolic and emotional effects. The use of ketogenic diets for weight loss is not warranted.

>Energy expenditure and body composition changes after an isocaloric ketogenic diet in overweight and obese men.
>The carbohydrate-insulin model of obesity posits that habitual consumption of a high-carbohydrate diet sequesters fat within adipose tissue because of hyperinsulinemia and results in adaptive suppression of energy expenditure (EE). Therefore, isocaloric exchange of dietary carbohydrate for fat is predicted to result in increased EE, increased fat oxidation, and loss of body fat. In contrast, a more conventional view that "a calorie is a calorie" predicts that isocaloric variations in dietary carbohydrate and fat will have no physiologically important effects on EE or body fat.
>CONCLUSION: The isocaloric KD was not accompanied by increased body fat loss but was associated with relatively small increases in EE that were near the limits of detection with the use of state-of-the-art technology.

WOW, WHO WOULD HAVE GUESSED???
