The aim of this research is to try and establish a single neural architecture that is capable of doing all the things the brain’s cerebral cortex can do – hearing, seeing, thinking, feeling and moving. This ambitious project is currently closed down due to the lack of funds.
The project is related to machine consciousness as one of the main interest of the researchers are mental imagery and imagination: “how is it that the neurons in our brains can build virtual worlds inside our head, and how do these enable us to act intelligently?”
