Some Basics of Neuroscience
Parietal Lobe• Movement• Orientation• Recognition • Perception of stimuli
Frontal Lobe• Reasoning• Planning• Parts of speech• Movement• Emotions • Problem solving
Occipital Lobe • Visual processing
Temporal Lobe• Perception & recognition
of auditory stimuli • Memory• Speech

Reinforcement learning
An area of machine learning that is concerned with:
How should an agent take actions in an environment so
that it can maximize its cumulative rewards?

Summary
• Neuroscience invesitgates the brain and its processes, like learning and reasoning
• In Data Science we use a lot if these findings, e.g. by applying machine learning algorithms to business problems and „real world“ data
• Neuroscience has been a great source of inspiration for Data Science – and vice versa!
• Many more opportunities and open questions!• For example: The humunculus, rules and decision-making Þ smart algorithms cannot replace data scientists yet!
