Scientists in Russia develop self-educating brain
An international team of scientists at a university in Russia have developed a physical model of a brain with the capacity to educate itself.
According to a press release by the Russian state university of Tomsk in western Siberia on Monday, a device has been developed with the ability to learn and react to the environment.
The device could serve as the artificial carrier of a natural mind.
The team - which consists of scientists from Germany, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan - has been working on a process which apparently requires the copying of 100 million brain neurons and one trillion of their connections.
“First, we built mathematical and computer models of the human brain,” Vladimir Syryamkin, the head of the laboratory said in the press release, adding, “Afterwards an electronic device with perceptrons was constructed. It is capable of processing diverse information (video, sound, etc.).”
“In the end, an artificial brain could become an analogue of the biological model,” Vladimir Shumilov, the main developer of the brain said, adding, “We’ve got colossal scale of work in front of us, but one major step is already done – we have managed to crack a mystery of brain neural system.”
“The creation of new neuron nets and degeneration of the already existing ones takes place in our physical model, as in the human brain. It is the process of forgetting in humans,” Shumilov said.
Artificial mind can be used in healthcare for the treatment of various types of dementia, such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease as well as in the field of robotic systems and neurocomputers.
