Autonomous Mental Development: A New Interdisciplinary Transactions for Natural and Artificial Intelligence

Although some baby animals can get up and walk within hours after birth, what a human child learns during the first two years of life easily exceeds what those animals learn in their entire lifetime. Furthermore, besides the explosive growth that occurs during this period, it is now well documented...

Personal Iris Recognition Using Neural Network 1.0 (Windows)

Artificial Neural Networks ANNs are programs designed to simulate the way a simple biological nervous system is believed to operate. They are based on simulated nerve cells or neurons, which are joined together in a variety of ways to form networks. These networks have the capacity to learn, memorize and...

Can nerves really regenerate?

People suffering of injury to the brain or spinal cord cannot currently be treated because central nervous system neurons have a very limited capability of self-repair and regeneration. But now, researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a potentially promising strategy for encouraging the regeneration of damaged neurons....

Our brain acts as a social network

According to a U.S. professor of psychology, some regions of our brains work like digital computers. Still, our whole brains operate as social networks. Randall OReilly, from the University of Colorado at Boulder, says that neurons in the prefrontal cortex PFC are binary. They have "on" and "off" states, and...
