Deep learning is just another way of doing statistics.
-it makes strong assumption
-you have large amounts of data
-classifying into categories.
-test data aren't far from training examples

Cognition is also just another way of doing statistics
doing statistics is just one (important) aspect of cognition. at other extreme, would you call formal logic statistics?

Brains rarely do formal logic. But yes, I think of it as a layer of model abstraction.

Ha! Statistics has absolutely nothing to do with cognition. As Judea Pearl once correctly said, people are not probability thinkers but cause-effect thinkers. The brain uses a winner-take-all method to handle uncertainty.https://medium.com/@RebelScience/the-brain-is-not-probabilistic-82ac88e0a3bf …

I disagree here. I think the brain uses probabilistic assumptions. I believe nested sampling would work best as the Monte Carlo Markov Chain Method, which in cognitive psychology is the assumed method of the brain.
