Simple Artificial Neural Circuit A Step Forward In Artificial Intelligence

Monday, May 11, 2015 - 18:20 in Biology & Nature

Researchers  have demonstrated the functionality of a simple artificial neural circuit - a circuit of about 100 artificial synapses was proved to perform a simple version of a typical human task: image classification.The brain has 1015 (one quadrillion) synaptic connections so this will need some time to come close, but it is a step.For all its errors and potential for faultiness, the human brain remains a model of computational power and efficiency. That's because the brain can accomplish certain functions in a fraction of a second what computers would require far more time and energy to perform. read more
