brain teaser for you
If in some field with much pseudoscience and misleading science, how do you figure out whether the "information" you get from studying a neuron is 20% accurate, 50% or 80% accurate. And if no information is ever 100% accurate which I suspect because the brain is too complicated, what are the best solutions to this problem for researchers?

On the weather forecast, when it says there's an 80% chance of rain tomorrow, what does that mean? Unless they're taking bets on it, I'm not sure it means anything.
My understanding with the Met office was this means the expected amount of time it would raine over the period was 80%. Which is different to 80% chance of rain. (I may well be wrong about this, I'm too lazy to Google it).
You sound like I sound like Tom Dwan.

I didn't understand the question. In some scientific subject you should study a single neuron? I think a single neuron either fires or doesn't fire and learns to do so in certain circumstances. This creates a classification. Or in other words can categorize something. This is what AI is based on by programming this principle.
Maybe you are asking about how to verify a "truth" in general where nothing can be proven? Fundamentally you would have to rely on observation of laws, recognizing which are relatively more fundamental and Occam's razor.
Logic puzzles like this are a perfect benchmark for testing AI reasoning capabilities. For those curious about how different engines handle such teasers, using a multi-model hub like https://cabina.ai/ allows you to compare answers from GPT-4o, Claude 3.5, and Gemini simultaneously. It’s a great way to spot logical hallucinations and find the most accurate explanation for complex riddles in one place.
