<p>A new study by physicists and neuroscientists from the University of Chicago, Harvard and Yale describes how connectivity among neurons comes about through general principles of networking and self-organization, rather than the biological features of an individual organism.</p>
I spent the last 20 years developing a model of working memory and consciousness. I have laid this out in a series of 25 diagrams illustrating the process and "shape" of thought. Now I am interested in implementing this model within a computer to develop artificial superintelligence.
The 80-year anniversary of the paper that inspired the development of computer-based "artificial neural networks" and their popular description as "mimicking the brain."
