Neuromazes: 3-dimensional spiketrain processors

Abstract

Abstract:- Neuromazes are pulsed neural networks synthesized in a 3-dimensional cellular space. They are being developed for the artificial brains of future generation robots. In neuromazes there are two processing elements: dendrite-cells that return a pulse at clock t if one and only one pulse entered it at clock t-1 and threshold-cells that return a pulse at clock t if its counter was 2 or more at clock t-1. At every clock t the weighted sum of pulses that entered the threshold-cell at clock t-1 is added to the discharged or not discharged counter. The weights can be –1 or 0 or 1. Every cell receives pulses from k defined neighbors and sends pulses to up to 6-k defined neighbors (k≤6). We present NeuroMazeTM 3.0 Proa software tool for rapid prototyping of neuromaze-based modules for artificial brains. Some related designs are presented here.
