An ARTIFICIAL BRAIN?!
What?
A machine modeling the Human brain
Why?
Breaking the limits of traditional computers
And How?
“Teaching” the machine…
Buzz words
Neurons, Axons, Dendrites…
Neural Network Module
CAM - Cellular Automata Model
FPGA - Field Programmable Gate Array
Genetic Algorithms
“Evolvable Hardware”.
The Human Brain
A network of 1014 neurons
Data transfer by electric signals
Dendrite cells (neurons Input)
Collect signals and pass them to the neuron
Neurons
“Decide” when to initiate a signal
Axon cells (neurons Output)
Propagate neuron signals
The CAM-Brain Machine (CBM)
A research tool of an artificial brain
Consists of 32,768 neural modules
Neural modules evolve in hardware using Genetic Algorithms.
