- We have been working for 6 years on a modelization of the cortical
- column as a basic unit of connectionist networks. The basic idea is to
- define a functional micro-circuit of neurons (cortical column) as
- a basic unit with specific input/output, learning and functioning
- rules. These rules and architecture have been defined with
- neurobiological consideration.
-
- From a computer science point of view, we have applied this model
- to speech processing, image interpretation and robotics.
-
- If you are interested, you may have a look to:
