    From the bottom. Study microbe brains. Learn to see inputs, outputs and data flow. Stay away from AI standard stuff.
    Brains are the topic of study. They scale up, but cannot be torn down.
    Here is a data flow.
    Nature -> sensors -> brain -> motors -> nature
    This is the loop.
    Sensors read nature and write abstract data.
    The brain reads data, does a function on it, and writes the result.
    motors read abstract data, add units and move nature.

    This is where it starts.

    AI is a very broad field. It starts in many different places.

    Some of the places you could start.
    Robotics.
    Machine vision.
    Neural nets. (fuzzy logic).
    Voice recognition.
    Gaming AI.
    Expert Systems.
    Language processing.

    The brain is not a good place to learn about AI it is way more complex then the “Nature -> sensors -> brain -> motors -> nature” and will eventual lead you to psychology.


    <b>hlreed</B>
    “Nature -> sensors -> brain -> motors -> nature” is not correct. Data flows in both directions. One of the most important parts of a neural net is the back propagation. The brain is just a large set of feed back loops. A more apt description would be

    Nature <-> (sensors/motors) <-> brain
