Abstract

This article presents a review of how artificial intelligence (AI) supports neuroscience investigations and explores a case study where it is applied. AI has an important role to play in research, because it focuses on the mechanisms that generate intelligence and cognition. Neuroscience benefits from AI techniques and increased computing power to improve the interpretation of brain behaviors, having focused on the reciprocal importance that both areas have on research & development. In the future, it is expected that both neuroscience and AI will increase their results of research and empirical advances, accelerating the knowledge of these areas of research and science.

Keywords
