  • Abstract
    Data compression involves packaging data in an efficient manner. It is a common phenomenon in man-made computers. If is reasonable to assume that something similar occurs in brains. It is proposed that experimental evidence for this is given by the data on decreasing density of synaptic connections in brains with age. The proposed effect is reviewed in relation to computations with simple brain models in the form of a specific artificial neural network
