The computerised brain named Spaun has the capability able to recognise characters and perform simple actions like arm movements and it includes an eye capable of viewing a 28-by-28-pixel image.
Monday, December 03, 2012: Scientists at the Canada-based University of Waterloo's Centre for Theoretical Neuroscience has created a brain from 2.5 million computer-simulated neurons and is by far the largest computerised brain. Codenamed as Spaun, it has the capability to recognise characters and perform simple actions like arm movements and it includes an eye capable of viewing a 28-by-28-pixel image. Spaun is even capable of performing complex operations like ordering data. The brain can be programmed in long and short-term memory functions.
The scientists said that Spaun can carry out eight functions like drawing symbols and much more. "The Spaun is no where as quick as the human brain," said Terrence Stewart, post-doctoral research associate on the project in The Register report. "This computerized brain needs to be speeded up a massive amount before it even comes anywhere close to the the speed of the human brain. At the moment, Spaun takes around two and a half hours for processing a thougt which takes a few seconds for the human brain,” added Stewart in the report.
According to researchers, the Spaun brain model is significantly useful in studying modeling areas of the brain like Spaun covers the part of the brain most affected by Parkinson's Disease, and it is helpful in other applications, which makes mapping of cognition possible.
