Chapter 18 – Neuromorphic Computing
- Neuromorphic computing reproduces our mental activity. (Yes | No)
No. That is the point. Neuromorphic begins with sub-symbolic low-level neuronal brain activity stimulations that do not form high-level mental activity yet. Our mental activity already uses symbols and contains representations in the form of words, images, numbers, and all kinds of constructions in general.
However, we can say YES if we are referring to the output results translated into mental activity. My point is that yes and no answers limit our views of AI.
- Neuromorphic computing reproduces our brain activity. (Yes | No)
Yes. That is the point! The core concept is to go from brain activity to structures formed by neuron spikes.
- Semantic Pointer Architecture (SPA) is a hardware architecture. (Yes | No)
No. Semantic pointers are like computer program pointers such as C++ pointers. The difference is that...
