Researchers at LuleÃ¥ University of Technology have created a new computer architecture that copies some of the human brains functions. This is a great step forward and due to the new development the research group has doubled in size. This new architecture contains three senses, although one is a combination of the first two. The first part is what we know as seeing â€" the part of the brain that deals with visual information and ‘models’ it â€" and the second part which we know as hearing â€" the part of the brain that constructs the sound so we can hear â€" while the third part is a fusion of both. The university has also stated that they’ve already began developing the nervous system. This is a great step for the computer industry on a whole and many things can come of this â€" such as creating more complex computers and in turn more complex applications. “We have developed a model of how the various sources of information that complement each other, can get a better idea of what is happening. Better to the extent that we may see more than what the different parts look,†says Tamas Jantvik researcher at LuleÃ¥ University of Technology.

Doubt this will become mainstream, but is still an achievement.

Had to.

Seriously though, go AI.

AI is like CPU graphic rendering, and this would be like Hardware-based.

It sounds pretty pie in the sky right now.

AI is not graphics rendering.

AI is "the science and engineering of making intelligent machines."

AI is simulated intelligence. Notice the title of the article is "brain emulated"

You can argue that emulation is not simulation because an emulator can be said to mimic exactly the physical properties of a system, but in regards to the definition of AI, it is still artificial. Every intelligence created for machines is by definition artificial.

Its a can of worms though, and many philosophical arguments can be made for and against an array of ideas surrounding AI.

I think he was trying to make a comparison of performing 3D Graphics calculations on a CPU vs a GPU... Implying that the AI modeling would allow something similar to a GPU but for AI to be created.

O rly?


I have something to say to that..

I would imagine that it's easier to produce an AI that humans could relate to if it were built on a framework that simulated the human sensory experience.

Please don't make these CPU's and systems don't make Terminator or Metal Gear Solid stories come true!

The title is a bit misleading... "Brain Functions Emulated" is a better title, not that it really matters. We still have a long way to go before we get close to truly mimicking any of the brain's functions in the way that the brain does.

There isn't enough time left in the universe to convert all of Kojima's rambling and confusing storylines into actual events.

I would imagine that it's easier to produce an AI that humans could relate to if it were built on more fatty tissue than silicon and only communicated without proper enunciation, oh and always expressed it's misguided judgmental opinions the loudest. Then most of America would be able to relate to it.

Srsly, this is neat. Go AI!

Wow quite impressive, it's a pity there's no paper relating to this to read more in-depth how they do that, the article says they have 3 chips, 1 for optical input, other for audio input and the third makes something coherent out of the mixed info of the other two?

I wonder how they do to relate what one chip is "seeing" with what the other is "hearing".

Edit: Will this computer locate the direction of the sound like humans do? comparing the difference of time in the reception fro each ear...
