Saw this link on another site. I don't follow the post but since it's science related I don't object to it as a source. Also videos in the source.

This makes a lot of sense to me and my theories that humans building a true artificial intelligence is either impossible or very far in the future. We would have to completely understand our brain functions , which logically speaking is probably impossible. We will probably never understand it unless we develop sensory input within these extra dimensions. We can think in 11 dimensions internally but only experiemce the world in 3( or 4 if you consider time a dimension)

Thoughts?

This is a misrepresentation of what this research is about.  You can read the actual research article here.  They are not referring to physical dimensions in addition to the 3/4 physical dimensions through which we describe the world around us.  The authors are using the term "dimensions" to describe abstract mathematical constructs that represent neural structures in the brain.   From the research article:

Networks are often analyzed in terms of groups of nodes that are all-to-all connected, known as cliques. The number of neurons in a clique determines its size, or more formally, its dimension. In directed graphs it is natural to consider directed cliques, which are cliques containing a single source neuron and a single sink neuron and reflecting a specific motif of connectivity (Song et al., 2005; Perin et al., 2011), wherein the flow of information through a group of neurons has an unambiguous direction. The manner in which directed cliques bind together can be represented geometrically.
That said, this is still pretty interesting stuff revealing another level of amazing complexity that is the human brain.
