Brain-Based Devices for Neuromorphic Computer Systems.

摘要

The ultimate goal of this project was to construct mobile devices capable of navigation, surveillance, and report. Control of these devices rests with simulated neuronal networks based on knowledge of higher brain functions that comprise cognitive control systems. In pursuing this goal, we made specific attempts to apply already demonstrated software strategies to develop a versatile set of spiking models, apply them to a recognition task, and to demonstrate a working memory. In the course of this work a new analytical method for spiking data was devised. We also designed and built a new type of mobile device capable of both flight and ground navigation while carrying a payload of surveillance sensors or other devices setting the stage for more autonomous systems.
