Question

Researchers in the computer science department at the University of Texas at Austin found that they could make a computer neural network mimic schizophrenia by programming it to process information at a faster and faster rate while simultaneously ignoring less and less data. This process simulated the effects of: ___________

A dopamine flood

Explanation:

Scientists at the University of Texas at Austin in the United States of America made a computer system they inflicted with schizophrenia symptoms so that they can understand the ailment the more and provide better treatments to it. They started off with a neutral computer that can learn, just like the human brain and provided it with certain instructions. When they saw a certain rate of success have been achieved, they tested the computer by simulating the origin of schizophrenia.
