I’ve been researching the relationship between brain neurons and nodes in neural networks. Repeatedly it is claimed neurons can do complex information processing that vastly exceeds that of a simple activation function in a neural network.

The resources I’ve read so far suggest nothing fancy is happening with a neuron. The neuron sums the incoming signals from synapses, and then fires when the sum passes a threshold. This is identical to the simple perceptron, the precursor to today’s fancy neural networks. If there is more to a neuron’s operation that this, I am missing it due to lack of familiarity with the neuroscience terminology. I’ve also perused this stack exchange, and haven’t found anything.

If someone could point to a detailed resource that explains the different complex ways a neuron processes the incoming information, in particular what makes a neuron a more sophisticated information processor than a perceptron, I would be grateful.

How could it have formed?Earlier this year, astronomers announced the discovery of an unusually compact “one of a kind” system of three stars. It was a unique combination of a binary set of stars and a revolving bigger star that puzzled the scientists that observed it.

Ford has started trials of its electric vehicle charging robot.

Ford’s all-electric F-150 Lightning truck can power houses for three days during blackouts utilizing its Ford Intelligent Backup Power.

The Mandela Effect is real but no one knows what causes it. CERN would like you to know it’s not their particle collider.

Cynthia Sue Larson has been on the lookout since July 5, when CERN turned the world’s most powerful particle collider back on for a third time. Larson is looking for “reality shifts and Mandela Effects,” or evidence of multiple universes, timelines, rips in the space-time continuum, or other evidence that reality as we know it has been distorted by the Large Hadron Collider.

If you thought space already had its fair share of terrifying places, think again. We’ve discovered scorching hot planets, inhospitable gas giants with winds faster than 500 miles an hour, and blackholes themselves, but these celestial objects have characteristics.

Imagine a place that’s literally just a void, a gap in space that has absolutely nothing and stretches millions of lightyears. Scientists have found such a gap and it defies all logic, but do we know anything about this gap? Or are these questions going to be unanswered?

Cabling in power substations is very important due to the fact that they are the longest parts of a system and therefore act as efficient antennas that pickup and or radiate noise. In HV substations, there are different kinds of conductors close to one another, such as high voltage buses, CTs, VTs, carrier couplers, bushing, control cables, substation ground conductors, and equipment ground connections.

The control cables are used to carry potential transformer outputs, current transformer outputs, circuit breaker control signals, relaying, and other communication signals. Increasingly, electronic equipment is used in switchyards and control houses.
