Abstract:
The science of constructing machines that think using the brain as a model is called non-living intelligence NLI. This report investigates the origins of NLI and discusses recent progress in the field. A computer simulation has been developed which exhibits the behavior of a primitive organism capable of adapting and surviving. The program is used to demonstrate learning using the hypothesis of synaptic plasticity. A neural network consisting entirely of sensory and motor neurons models the reward mechanism of the vertebrate brain. Keywords Learning machines Adaptive systems Connectionism Neural nets.
