How does the brain use patterns?
Pattern Recognition and Inductive Thinking is a special ability of the human brain to not only find patterns but figure out in a logical way what those patterns suggest about what will happen next. In a broad sense, pattern recognition and inductive thinking form the basis for all scientific inquiry.
What part of the brain is responsible for recognizing patterns?
The neocortex, the outermost layer of the brain, is found only in mammals and is responsible for humans' ability to recognize patterns.
What are the patterns on the brain called?
The surface of the brain, known as the cerebral cortex, is very uneven, characterized by a distinctive pattern of folds or bumps, known as gyri (singular: gyrus), and grooves, known as sulci (singular: sulcus). These gyri and sulci form important landmarks that allow us to separate the brain into functional centers.
Does the brain make patterns?
Your brain is wired to notice patterns. Research from 2018 suggests it's a part of your learning process — how you make predictions and determine probability.
