If the market has an invisible hand, does knowledge creation and representation have an "invisible brain"? While knowledge is viewed as a product of neuron activity in the brain, can we identify knowledge that is outside the brain but reflects the activity of neurons in the brain? This work suggests that the patterns of neuron activity in the brain can be seen in the representation of knowledge-related activity. Here we show that the neuron activity mechanism seems to represent much of the knowledge learned in the past decades based on published articles, in what can be viewed as an "invisible brain" or collective hidden neural networks. Similar results appear when analyzing knowledge activity in patents. Our work also tries to characterize knowledge increase as neuron network activity growth. The results propose that knowledge-related activity can be seen outside of the neuron activity mechanism. Consequently, knowledge might exist as an independent mechanism.
如果市场有一只“看不见的手”，那么知识创造与呈现是否有一个“看不见的大脑”呢？虽然知识被视为大脑中神经元活动的产物，但我们能否识别出存在于大脑之外却反映大脑中神经元活动的知识呢？这项研究表明，大脑中神经元活动的模式能够在与知识相关的活动呈现中被观察到。在此我们表明，基于已发表的文章，神经元活动机制似乎呈现了过去几十年中学到的大部分知识，这可以被看作是一个“看不见的大脑”或集体隐藏神经网络。在分析专利中的知识活动时也出现了类似的结果。我们的研究还试图将知识增长描述为神经网络活动的增长。结果表明，与知识相关的活动能够在神经元活动机制之外被观察到。因此，知识可能作为一种独立的机制存在。
